| Prep 15 minutes Cook 60 minutes | |
| 1 can (28 oz) | Italian tomatoes |
| 2 | zucchini, grated |
| 1/2 cup | chopped fresh mint leaves |
| 1/2 cup | grated pecorino Romano cheese plus more for sprinkling |
| 1/4 cup | extra virgin olive oil |
| 3 cloves | minced garlic |
| 1 tsp | salt |
| 1 t | freshly ground black pepper |
| 4 cups | chicken broth |
| 1 1/2 cups | orzo, ( rice shaped pasta) |
| 6 | sweet bell peppers, ( red or yellow) |
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Pour the tomatoes into a large bowl and break apart using a pair of kitchen shears or your finger tips. Ad the zucchini, mint, cheese, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to combine
Meanwhile, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the orzo and cook for 4 minutes. The orzo should be only partially cooked. Use a fine mesh sieve to transfer the orzo to the large bowl with the other vegetables. Store the orzo into the vegetable mix to combine. Transfer the warm chicken broth to a 3 quart baking dish.
Slice the tops off the peppers and remove all the ribs and seeds. Cut a very thin slice from the base to help the peppers stand up.
Place the peppers in the baking dish with the warm chicken broth. Spoon the orzo mixture into the peppers. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle the top of each pepper with cheese and continue baking until the cheese is golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully transfer the orzo stuffed pepper to a serving plate.
