Recipe Introduction


Thomas Alva Edison was the world's greatest inventor. Born in 1847, in Milan, Ohio, he patented 1,093 inventions. The most famous was the light bulb, but he also developed the first phonograph and kinetoscope (for viewing moving film). In tribute to his genius, electric lights in the U.S. were dimmed for one minute on October 21, 1931, a few days after his death.



List of Ingredients




ROD 8/20/2006 Thomas Edison Day Bright Idea Stuffed Peppers


"Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."
- Thomas Edison



Bright Idea Stuffed Peppers


4 large red, green or yellow bell peppers
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 soy "sausage" links, cut into chunks
2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup minced parsley
Two 14 1/2-ounce cans chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Pinch cayenne, or to taste
3 cups cooked rice
1 cup plus 8 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

8 sprigs fresh thyme for garnish, optional




Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Slice bell peppers in half lengthwise. Remove core and seeds, rinse and pat dry. Set aside.

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Saute "sausage" 2 minutes. Add onion, celery, garlic and parsley, and cook about 10 minutes more. Stir in 1/2 cup tomatoes, thyme and cayenne.

Put rice in bowl, and stir in vegetable mixture. Let stand 15 minutes so the rice absorbs any liquid from vegetables. Stir in cheese. Divide rice mixture among pepper halves, mounding mixture into cavities. Pour remaining tomato mixture into small baking dish. Nestle stuffed peppers on top of tomatoes. Cover dish with lid or aluminum foil.

Bake 1 hour. Uncover peppers, and sprinkle each pepper with 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese. Cook, uncovered, 10 minutes. Serve with sauce from baking dish, and garnish with fresh thyme, if desired.

Makes 8 servings, 1/2 stuffed pepper each
