Cooking Instructions

Have ready a 5-qt pot (about 10 in. wide by 3 in. deep), a rack or steamer basket to set in pot and an 8-in. square baking dish.

Fill pot with 1 in. water; insert rack or steamer basket. Bring to a boil; place peppers cut side down on rack, cover and cook 4 minutes. Place peppers cut side up in baking dish.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add onion and garlic; sauté just until onion softens. Stir in zucchini, tomatoes, seasoning and 1⁄2 tsp salt. Break up tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook 2 minutes. Stir in corn. Remove and reserve 1 cup.

Heat oven to 375°F. Stir rice and 1⁄4 cup cheese into vegetable mixture in skillet. Spoon into peppers. Loosely cover with foil.

Bake 20 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle peppers with remaining cheese. Bake 10 minutes longer, or until cheese melts.

Meanwhile purée reserved vegetable mixture in a food processor or blender. Pour into skillet, add 3⁄4 cup water, 1⁄4 tsp salt and the pepper. Simmer 10 minutes. Serve with the peppers.
