- 13 ounces, weight Chopped Tomatoes (or Diced Tomatoes)
- 2- 1/2 cups Vegetable Broth
- 2- 1/2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
- 1 cup Farro
- 1/4 cups Pine Nuts
- 3 Large Orange Or Yellow Bell Peppers, Halved Stem-to-base, Seeds Removed
- 1- 1/2 cup Frozen Chopped Spinach
- 23 cups Crumbled Feta Cheese
- Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, deep saute pan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, broth, oregano, and farro.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a light simmer.
- Cook, partially covered, until farro is tender, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, as farro cooks, arrange pine nuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Watch carefully because they burn quickly!
- Set toasted pine nuts aside.
- Increase oven heat to 400 F.
- Arrange pepper halves on a baking sheet and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the oven until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, measure out the frozen chopped spinach and place it in a heat-safe container.
- Microwave for 30 seconds at a time until thawed.
- When cool enough to handle, transfer thawed spinach to a fine mesh strainer.
- Arrange the strainer over a large mixing bowl and squeeze spinach, wringing it dry, until all excess water is drained from the spinach.
- When farro is fully cooked and tender and all of the broth is absorbed, add the toasted pine nuts and chopped spinach.
- Add feta and stir until well combined.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Stuff cooked bell pepper halves with heaping spoonfuls of farro mixture.
- Serve.
