Mediterranean Lamb Sausage and Feta Stuffed Peppers
Okay, here’s a delicious, hands-off dinner that’s perfect for a busy weeknight or a casual gathering. You get all the vibrant, savory flavors of the Mediterranean baked right into sweet bell peppers—it’s a complete meal in one colorful package.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
– 4 large bell peppers (any color)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 pound ground lamb sausage
– 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup cooked long-grain white rice
– 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
– 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Slice the tops off the 4 bell peppers and remove all seeds and membranes from the inside.
3. Place the hollowed peppers upright in a baking dish just large enough to hold them snugly.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Add 1 pound ground lamb sausage to the hot skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon.
6. Cook the sausage for 5-7 minutes, until it is no longer pink and begins to brown.
7. Add the finely diced yellow onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage.
8. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion is soft and translucent.
9. Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
10. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool for 2-3 minutes. (Tip: Letting it cool slightly prevents the feta from melting too quickly when mixed in.)
11. To the skillet, add 1 cup cooked white rice, 4 ounces crumbled feta, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, and the drained can of diced tomatoes.
12. Stir all ingredients in the skillet until they are evenly combined. (Tip: The rice helps absorb any excess moisture and keeps the filling from being soggy.)
13. Evenly divide the sausage and rice filling among the 4 prepared bell peppers, packing it down gently.
14. Place the baking dish with the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven.
15. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the peppers are tender when pierced with a fork and the filling is hot throughout. (Tip: For a bit of color, you can broil for the final 1-2 minutes.)
16. Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the peppers rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Here, the roasted peppers become wonderfully soft and sweet, creating a perfect contrast to the savory, spiced lamb and tangy feta filling. Serve them straight from the baking dish with a simple green salad, or for a heartier meal, spoon any extra pan juices over the top.

– 1 tsp dried rosemary
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions

3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked sausage to a clean plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
4. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften.
5. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Tip: Toasting the tomato paste for a minute deepens its flavor and removes any raw taste.

8. Return the cooked sausage to the pot and stir everything to combine.
9. Bring the stew to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid.

11. Tip: A gentle simmer, with just a few bubbles breaking the surface, is key to tender lentils without them turning mushy.
12. After 30 minutes, check if the lentils are tender by tasting one. If they are still firm, continue simmering for another 5-10 minutes.
13. Once the lentils are tender, remove the pot from the heat and let the stew sit, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.
14. Tip: This brief resting time allows the flavors to meld together perfectly and the stew to thicken slightly.
The stew has a wonderfully thick, rustic texture where the lentils hold their shape against the rich, crumbled sausage. The herb infusion from the sausage and the dried thyme and rosemary creates a deeply savory, aromatic flavor profile that’s incredibly comforting. Serve it in deep bowls with a chunk of crusty bread for dipping, or spoon it over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes for the ultimate cozy meal.

17. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves and extra Parmesan cheese.
The pasta has a wonderfully silky texture from the wine-infused tomato sauce, with savory, juicy bits of lamb sausage in every bite.

- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
- 1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 lb lamb sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Tip: Use a wooden spoon to crumble the sausage easily as it cooks.
- Add 1 diced yellow onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 diced carrots, and 2 diced celery stalks to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
- Pour in 6 cups chicken broth and 1 can diced tomatoes with their juices.
- Stir in 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1 bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Add 1 bunch chopped kale and 1 can drained cannellini beans. Stir to combine. Tip: Massage the kale leaves with your hands for a minute before adding to help soften them.
- Cover the pot again and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the kale is tender but still bright green.
- Remove the bay leaf. Season the soup with salt and black pepper. Tip: Start with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, then adjust after tasting.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately.
Perfectly balanced, this soup has a rich, savory broth with tender beans and hearty sausage. The kale adds a slight bitterness that cuts through the richness beautifully. Try topping it with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or serving it with crusty bread for dipping.
