Stuffed Green Pepper Soup

I gave some of this stuffed pepper soup to a neighbor who said that her husband probably wouldn't eat it as it had onions in it. She said he tried it, loved it, and asked me for the recipe. I have used instant brown rice, and it worked fine.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 3 green bell peppers, diced small

  • 1 onion, diced small

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 ½ pounds ground beef

  • 3 quarts water

  • 2 (29 ounce) cans tomato sauce

  • 2 (28 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes in juice

  • ½ cup ketchup

  • ½ cup beef base

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 4 cups water

  • 2 cups brown rice

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir bell pepper, onion, and garlic in hot oil until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Break ground beef into small chunks and add to the pot; cook and stir until completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes more. Drain excess fat and return pot to heat.

  2. Stir water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, ketchup, beef base, brown sugar, salt, and pepper into the beef mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until the flavors marry, about 30 minutes.

  3. While the soup simmers, bring water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes; stir into the soup.

Chef John's Nectarine Salsa

Chef John's Nectarine Salsa

This nectarine salsa combines sweetness with heat. I've always loved the marvelous contrast between a hot, smoky piece of meat and a cold, fruity salsa, and this version featuring nectarines does not disappoint. A basket of crispy tortilla chips is the only thing that pairs better with this fresh fruit salsa. Keep it in mind if you have a few peaches to use this summer.

This ground turkey meatball sheet pan dinner takes on all the flavors of fresh herbs, shallot, garlic, and lemon zest you’ll find in Greek cooking. They add loads of flavor to both the turkey meatballs and the veggies. Give the meatballs a head start in the oven, and toss in a few veggies with some of the seasonings, olive oil, and lemon juice for a complete dinner, done on a sheet pan.

This is my take on yakamein (New Orleans-style noodle soup) that's famous only locally, but is one soup you'll want to know about. Known in New Orleans as a very effective hangover cure—its nickname is Old Sober—it is also a beautifully comforting and delicious thing to eat.
