I hate girl problems.....

Tuna stuffed green peppers:

Ingredients:

1/8 cup olive oil – equal part margarine or butter can be substituted
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup milk
1 can tuna (preferably chunk), drained
100 g of mozzarella cheese, grated
3 medium green peppers, with membranes removed
3-4 cups of prepared rice (I prefer brown, but that’s a personal thing)
Paprika, or black pepper, to taste.


The ingredients, minus the olive oil (because I forgot to add it to the picture)

The first step is to ensure that everything is prepared. You need to set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius to preheat it. This does not take long to actually cook.

The cheese and the green pepper prepared. Note that I’m too lazy to actually grate all of the cheese.

The next step is to add the olive oil and flour to a saucepan on low heat and stir it constantly. It should form a thick paste. That is exactly what you want out of it. Do this for about 2 minutes.

Yes, I know it doesn’t look appetizing. That will change

Add in the milk, and continue stirring. It will be very thin, but as it warms up, it will thicken until it becomes difficult to stir. You must keep stirring it.

Yes, I understand that the pictures are terrible quality. That’s what I get for using my BB for this. Sue me

When it starts to boil (just starting, not heavily boiling), quickly add in the lemon juice and paprika. It will stop boiling. Keep stirring. Now is time to do a taste test to see if you’ve added enough lemon juice and paprika.

Trust me, it’s actually pretty thick at the moment. There’s no real way of displaying that in a picture though

When it starts to boil again (yet again, just starting to boil), add half of the mozzarella cheese, and keep stirring. Notice that I keep saying to stir it – that’s why having the prep in the first step is essential – you won’t have time for it otherwise.

The paprika gives it a nice colour

When the cheese is fully melted, add in the can of tuna.

Almost done

Fill the green peppers with the tuna mixture. Top with the remaining grated cheese. I only made 1 pepper because I’m saving the other 2/3 of the mixture for later.

It’s finally coming together

Put it in the oven until the cheese is starting to brown. It usually takes about 20 minutes. This is more than enough time for the peppers to cook. Serve with rice.

Presentation could be better, but this is so freaking good that it doesn’t even matter
Serves 3
If you’re looking for nutritional information, you'd likely be shocked at how bad it is, even though the ingredients in it aren't that bad overall



For those of you who know me, you know I’m a big guy. The reason is because I like my food. A lot. And this is one of my favourite recipes, which I’ve been refining for years now. It takes like 5 minutes of prep, 10 minutes of cooking, and 20 minutes in the oven, so it’s something I can make as often as I want.

And, yes, I know a bunch of you clicked this because you wanted a girl blog. And you’re probably disappointed. Well, too bad. I’ll take the 1 star you’re gonna give me.
