Ingredients
  • 4 bell peppers -- yellow, orange and/or red
  • 1/2 cup orzo
  • 1 can chickpeas -- (15 ounce) rinsed
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion -- chopped
  • 6 ounces baby spinach -- chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano -- chopped or 1 tsp dried
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese -- divided
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes -- not packed in oil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions
  1. Halve peppers lengthwise. Remove seeds and membrane. Place cut-side down in a microwave-safe dish. Add 1/2 inch water, cover and microwave on High until the peppers are just softened, 7- 9 minutes. Let cool slightly, drain and set aside.
  2. Cook orzo in boiling water until just tender, 8-10 minutes or according to package. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  3. Saute onion in oil until soft, about 4 minutes. Add spinach and oregano and cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in orzo, chickpeas, 1/2 cup feta, tomatoes, vinegar and salt; cook until heated though, about 1 minute. Divide filling among pepper halves and sprinkle with remaining feta.
