Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp olive oil
1 can (14-1/2 oz) diced tomatoes with mild green chilies
1 cup cooked long grain rice
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives
3 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 large green peppers
1 cup water
roasted sweet red pepper strips, optional

Directions:

In a large skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic in oil over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the next eight ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut green peppers in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Place in an ungreased shallow 3-qt. microwave-safe dish; add water. Cover and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain; fill each pepper half with 1/2 cup meat mixture. Garnish with red pepper strips if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
