Peppers:
- red bell peppers 6
- Cut peppers in half lengthwise, clean.
- Put cut peppers in steamer basket and steam ~5-10 min. At that point they should be slightly softened but hold shape well.
Merinade:
- ginger, chopped 1/2 tbsp
- green onions 6
- celery, chopped 1/4 cup
- sesame oil 1 tsp
- white wine 1 tbsp
- clam juice 1 tbsp
- pumpkin seed butter 1-2 tsp
- ground chicken (dark meat) 1 lb
- In a bowl mix chicken with 1/2 of the ginger, green onion, celery, sesame oil, wine, clam juice, pumpkin seed butter. (See Note below.)
- Marinate for 30 minutes or more in refrigerator.
Stuffing:
- garlic, chopped 6-8 clove
- hot oil 1/2 tsp
- salt, black pepper to taste
- olive oil 1-2 tbsp
- Saute rest of ginger and garlic over high heat. Add hot oil, then add chicken mixture. Keep it moving but gently—idea is having small "chunks" vs. tiny "grains".
- As chicken browns, add rest of onions and celery and keep stirring until chicken is done. Adjust flavoring. Then set aside.
Garnish:
- Parmesan cheese 2-3 tsp
- celery, chopped 1/4 cup
- green onion, chopped 2 onions
Baking:
- Arrange peppers in greased baking pan. Spoon chicken mixture into
- shells. Top with grated parmesan, chopped vegetable garnish.
- Bake 10-15 minutes at 350°F.
Pumpkin seed butter is hard to come by in stores, but pretty easy to make yourself. Sunflower seed butter can be substituted though isn't quite as good.
