Ingredients:

Serving

3 red bell peppers
3 yellow bell peppers
3 cups water, divided
1/2 cup dried brown lentils
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 cup diced onion
8 oz basil , pine nut , and chicken sausage, chopped (such as gerhard's)
1 cup (4 oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup dried currants or raisins
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp capers
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup (1 oz) grated fresh parmesan cheese

Directions:

Cut bell peppers in half, keeping stems intact. Discard seeds and membranes. Cook bell peppers in boiling water 5 minutes; drain and set aside.
Combine 2 cups water, lentils, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan; add rice and onion. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside. Place sausage in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; saute until browned.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine lentils, rice mixture, sausage, mozzarella, and remaining ingredients except Parmesan in a large bowl. Divide lentil mixture evenly among bell peppers; sprinkle with Parmesan. Place stuffed peppers in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish; cover and bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes.
