[edit] Ingredients

2

tablespoons olive oil

1

large onion, finely chopped

2

teaspoons ground coriander

1 ½

teaspoons ground cumin

1

small tomato, chopped

½

cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (such as thyme, basil, cilantro and mint)

1 ½

cups part-skim ricotta cheese

1

teaspoon salt

4

medium bell peppers (green and red yellow and/or purple)

1

[edit] Preparation

Step 1

In medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add coriander and cumin and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add tomato and herbs and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in ricotta cheese and salt.

Step 2

Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is lightly browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 4

Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Fill each pepper half with a generous portion of cheese. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake until peppers are tender and filling is heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 5

To serve, cut stuffed peppers in half lengthwise again. Garnish with sprigs of fresh herbs.
