Slathered, stuffed, and roasted to perfection! These simple Keto Greek Stuffed
peppers will be your new favorite no-fuss dinner! Not a vegetarian? Serve these
alongside your favorite protein!




CREATURES OF HABIT

I will be the first to admit that I thrive in a routine. I live for the
expected. I love the “known”. I have no shame staying firmly planted in my
comfort zone. That’s where it’s comfortable, duh. 

You might be thinking “Hey, Inspector, that’s probably not healthy” and you are
absolutely right. Never venturing out to try new things means you’re likely
missing out on an experience, job, food, etc that you could truly love.  This
was another one of my New Year’s Resolutions: get uncomfortable.



Trying new things is a risk, both with life and food, so let’s start small with
some super flavorful Greek Stuffed Peppers with Hemp Seed Pesto. If that made
your brows furrow slightly, good. We are headed in the right direction!


HEMP SEED PESTO

Hemp seeds are the soft and nutty seeds of the hemp plant and are a great source
of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Hemp seeds, unlike
other plant-based proteins, are a complete protein, meaning they contain all 9
of the essential amino acids that our body cannot produce on its own. Basically,
non-negotiables.

Hemp seeds taste buttery and nutty and can be sprinkled on basically anything
for a nutrient boost. I love them in green smoothies or sprinkled on gluten-free
keto cereal! Today, we are blending them with fresh basil, olive oil, and a
little Parmesan to make what I like to call “Presto Pesto”. It’s quick and it
blends easier than pine nut pesto! Plus, it’s snappy!

This pesto is very similar in flavor to a traditional pesto but it can be a
little thicker and less chunky due to the soft and supple nature of the hemp
seed. The important part is that it’s AWESOME for vegetarians who need more
protein and keto-tarians who are carb conscious.




THE BEST CAULIFLOWER RICE

When it comes to cauliflower rice, most of the time I am not uh…excited? It’s
just a means to fill you up with fewer carbs than traditional rice and typically
has less flavor. Not this time! I’ve recently decided to revamp cauliflower rice
with a couple of tricks.

 1. Use a good amount of oil and always season it.
    * Even if it’s just a little salt and pepper, this step is crucial to
      buildable flavor vs seasoning at the end. I read in a cookbook once that
      you need to season your dish at every step, not just at the end and that
      resonated with me!
 2. Cook it on high heat in a large skillet.
    * Give cauliflower the stirfry treatment for great flavor + good texture. I
      almost never steam my rice unless it’s becoming cauliflower mash. I find
      it too “cauliflowery” if that’s a thing.
 3. Roast in the oven.
    * If you aren’t a fan of cauliflower and you don’t care that the texture
      isn’t the same as actual rice, roasting is a great method. It has the best
      flavor and becomes a nice golden color that is great as a side! Just
      spread it evenly on a sheet pan with some olive oil and roast at 425F
      until golden.




STUFFING AND ROASTING YOUR PEPPERS

Now that you’ve prepped your rice and your hemp seed pesto, it’s time to prep
those peppers!

For the best roasted red peppers, I cut each pepper in half and clean it well.
Then using a pastry brush or spoon, cover the interior and exterior of each
pepper half in some of the pesto. Slice a lemon in half and put that face down
in a roasting pan along with the peppers and bake until they are nice and soft.

Stuff the peppers with the cauliflower rice mixture and add lots of chunked
Havarti for a creamy savory flavor, or use feta for a saltier more toothsome
texture! I prefer Havarti because of how perfectly it melts into cauliflower
rice. Then bake the peppers for a short time to melt everything together and
prepare for the best part. Roasted lemon!



The roasted lemon (from the first step) will begin to brown and has a sweet-tart
bite that is delicious when drizzled all over these peppers! It’s the perfect
compliment to these flavors, just like my Roasted Greek Broccoli.




I really think these Keto Greek Stuffed Peppers have something for everyone but
if you DO have an olive-hater in your midst *cough* my brother, then you can
100% make a few without olives. Or make them with extra olives, depending on how
much you like the person…

INGREDIENTS

HEMP SEED PESTO

 * 1/2 cup Olive Oil
 * 1/3 cup Hulled Hemp Seeds (Hemp Hearts)
 * 1 1/2 cups Fresh Basil
 * 2 cloves garlic (for garlic lovas)
 * 1/3 cup Grated Parmesan
 * 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
 * 1/2 tsp Salt, or more to taste

ROASTED RED PEPPERS

 * 3 Red Bell Peppers, halved and seeds removed
 * 3 cups Cauliflower, riced
 * 3 oz Harvarti, cubed (or sub feta for a saltier cheese)
 * 6-8 Kalamata Olives, sliced
 * 1/2 Fresh Lemon




INSTRUCTIONS

HEMP SEED PESTO

 1. Combine the pesto ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
    Add more oil to thin, if necessary. Set aside.

PEPPERS

 1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Arrange
    peppers and the 1/2 lemon on a medium baking sheet, skin side down with the
    lemon cut side down.
 2. Brush the peppers with some of the pesto and roast everything for 30 minutes
    or until they become soft and the edges begin to darken.
 3. While the peppers are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle
    in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the riced cauliflower and sliced olives to
    the skillet and season with a little black pepper. Saute stirring frequently
    until the rice begins to soften, then remove from the heat and stir in 2
    tablespoons of the pesto.
 4. Remove the peppers from the oven and fill them with the cauliflower mixture.
    cubed cheese, and a squeeze of the roasted lemon. Return to the oven to melt
    the cheese, about 3-5 minutes.
 5. Serve over the remaining cauliflower rice and drizzle with pesto.

    Just made it, but I added lentils, onions and shredded carrots, and
    calabrian peppers for spice. Used goat cheese instead, too. Amazing idea for
    pesto!

    This was so good! We added mushrooms and onion to the cauliflower and
    swapped the cheese with mozzarella
