To make this dish, you'll need:
- 4 large bell peppers, halved and seeded
- 1 lb. ground lamb
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup chopped onion

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Arrange the pepper halves in a baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground lamb and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Add the onion, tomato, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the veggies are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked rice and crumbled feta cheese. Spoon the lamb mixture into the pepper halves, filling them to the top.
Bake the stuffed peppers for 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot and bubbly. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of extra feta cheese, if desired.
