Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup long- grain brown rice
1/8 tsp saffron threads, crushed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 (14.5-oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
10 piquillo peppers (about 1 jar)
cooking spray
1/4 cup (1 oz) shredded manchego cheese
flat-leaf parsley sprigs (optional)

Directions:

Combine first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 40 minutes or until done. Stir in chopped parsley, black pepper, salt, and tomatoes. Cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Spoon about 3 tablespoons rice mixture into each piquillo pepper. Place stuffed peppers in an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with Manchego cheese. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until peppers are thoroughly heated. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
