Ingredients for stuffed peppers and tomatoes for 4 servings
1 green pepper
1 yellow pepper
2 big tomatoes
1/2 a cup of vegetable broth
2 cups of undercooked rice
3 spoonfuls of minced parsley
3 spoonfuls of raisins

6 spoonfuls of grated Parmesan cheese
6 spoonfuls of bread crumbs

Preparation
Preheat the oven at 180 degrees. Slightly oil a shallow baking tray and fill it with peppers and tomatoes cut into halves.
Wash the peppers and cut them into halves and remove the seeds. Wash the tomatoes, cut them into halves, remove the pulp and put it aside.
Heat little oil in a pan over medium heat and add finely minced onion and garlic. Lightly fry them, mixing from time to time, then add the broth, undercooked rice, and the previously soaked raisins. Mix well until the mixture is warm. Put the mixture in a bowl and add the tomato pulp, parsley, basil, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Mix well. Stuff each half of the peppers and tomatoes with the mixture. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake for about 30-40 minutes, until the crumbs are golden brown and the vegetables are slightly undercooked.

Mint has many health benefits, but in food it’s often accompanied by artificial green colourings. Instead, Galatea has created a green mint ice cream in a completely natural way.
We’re talking about Galatea, a company that produces semi-finished products for artisanal ice creams using high quality ingredients, natural colouring, excluding thickeners and hydrogenated fats, respecting the environment and supporting the less fortunate.
The mad rush to fake food, like fake meat made with genetically-modified soy, ignores the importance of the diversity of our foods and culinary cultures. It’s a recipe to accelerate the destruction of the Planet and our health.
