Barley Stuffed Green Peppers

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃). Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add mushrooms and onions and cook, stirring until the onions are browned. Stir in the barley, parsley, thyme and pepper (ground). Stir in the cheese; set aside.

Rinse the bell peppers. Cut off the tops; remove and discard the seeds and pith. If necessary, make a thin slice on the bottom of each pepper to balance. Spoon ¼ of the mixture into each pepper.

Stand the peppers upright in a baking dish just large enough to accommodate them. Pour the saice into the baking dish. Bake 30 minutes or until the peppers are tender.
