Ingredients:

• 4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)

• 2 cups vegetable broth

• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
3. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the bulgur wheat, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 12 minutes, until the bulgur is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

5. Stuff each bell pepper with the bulgur mixture and place them in a baking dish.
6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the peppers are tender and slightly charred.
8. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful meal!
