Fall ushers in the season of casseroles: Comfort food baked in an oven to warm your body and feed your soul. I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of my neighbor’s bountiful backyard garden: heirloom tomatoes, mini bell peppers, zucchinis galore.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What to do with all these bright, beautiful harvest vegetables? Stuffed peppers.<\/p>\n

Here’s a little quirk about me: I love stuffed peppers but I don’t actually much care for the peppers. Bell peppers are something I’ve trained myself to tolerate, and while I vastly prefer them cooked to raw, the actual pepper part of the stuffed pepper sometimes get pushed aside on my plate and left for composting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But if the peppers are cut up into small pieces, it’s another story. Small chopped pepper also eliminates the tedious process of stuffing the peppers with the filling before baking. With these goals in mind, I experimented in the kitchen one afternoon, and by experimented, I mean that I threw all of my available summer harvest vegetables into my food processor and pulsed the Chop button until everything was pulverized.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This grain-free summer harvest stuffed pepper bake is the result. There’s lots of room for customization here based on what you have in the house, but the portobello mushrooms are essential. They add an earthy, rice-like texture so that you don’t even miss the traditional white or brown rice of stuffed peppers.<\/p>\n

I dotted my casserole with fresh mozzarella balls that melted into gooey goodness as the casserole baked, but if you are looking for a dairy-free option, these can definitely be omitted. You won’t miss it.<\/p>\n

Fill that food processor with all the veggies you need to use up, and let’s get chopping.<\/p>\n
