Slow Food at SCCCHello everyone and welcome to anothersemester at SCCC. My name is KateMillem. I am part of the SCCC SlowFood Student Chapter.

Our club is all about good, clean and fairfood. Good meaning food that tastesgood; clean meaning food that was nottreated with pesticides, hormones, andantibiotics; fair meaning that the peoplewho harvested the food were treated andpaid fairly and that the livestock was alsotreated fairly.

We support sustainable farming and have raised money for theThousand Gardens campaign in Africa. If you’re interested injoining our group, look for more slow food information aroundcampus. You do NOT have to be a Culinary Arts student to join.

Enjoy this month’s recipe--Stuffed PeppersIngredients4 to 6 large red or greenpeppers, small diced

16 oz. jar of tomato sauce (I try to get this as plain aspossible)

2 cups of riceonion

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 pound of ground meat (I use a mixture of pork, veal, and beef,but you can use ground turkey as well)

Salt, black pepper, and cayenne all to taste

1-2 hot peppers

Cook the rice as per package directions. Cool and reserve.

Sauté onion, garlic, and hot peppers until onions are translucent.

Then, cook the meat along with the onions and garlic. Drain themeat when finished cooking.

Mix the tomato sauce and the ground meat mixture. Add salt, blackpepper, and cayenne to taste (you can add garlic powder here aswell if you do not have cloves of garlic).

Take your peppers and cut off the tops. Clean them well and makesure there are no seeds in the inside of the pepper. Then, stuff yourmeat and vegetable mixture in the peppers.

Put the now stuffed peppers in a deep baking dish (like a casseroledish) and place in an oven at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes untilthe pepper is soft. During the last five minutes you can sprinklesome cheese on top if you like.

The stuffed pepper can be served all by itself. The best part aboutthis recipe is you can add your own ingredients to truly make ityours. If you are a vegetarian you can take out the ground meatand add more rice or black beans. It’s a great meal and there is nosuch thing as unwanted left overs…if there are any.
