There are countless delicious ways to stuff bell peppers. Just like magic, halved bell peppers turn into little boats that are perfect for filling with various ingredients to make a simple meal with a (boat)load of flavor. This stuffed peppers recipe is one of my favorites and for good reason! It features a blend of favorite Italian and Mediterranean flavors with its tomatoes, basil, and capers, and is a truly healthy, eye-catching, and delicious side.
Feijoada is a classic Brazilian dish, an all-day sort of dish that comes from the same family as French cassoulets and American baked beans. While there are as many versions as there are cooks in Brazil, the basic elements of the dish are always the same: black beans and an assortment of vegetables. Traditionally, a hodgepodge of cured meats are thrown into the mix but our version ups the veg-content instead. A surprising aspect of feijoada is the orange. The habit of serving sliced oranges with feijoada may seem unusual if you’ve never tried it, but the juicy tang of the citrus provides a refreshing contrast to the richness of the dish. It’s what really sets this recipe apart from a run-of-the-mill bean soup.
When I first tasted this soup, I was speechless. It was so delicious–fragrant, complex, and so, so flavorful. When I saw how simple the ingredients and instructions were, I was even more stunned. You must try this soup!

This is an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink soup, but we figured that might not make the most positive first impression. Grain, vegetables, and starch…this has it all. The addition of black beans, if you have a can in your pantry, would only serve to balance it further, no?
The international food aisle can be overwhelming, no? It’s hard enough to read the labels of food you normally buy, much less a list of ingredients you can’t pronounce. This Thai-inspired soup recipe meets you right in the middle, gently steering you toward more exotic flavors but with familiar ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
