Hazırlanışı

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise through the stem, and remove the seeds and membranes. Place in a oven-proof baking dish and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and over medium heat cook the mushrooms, onions, and zucchini until tender and just beginning to brown. Add the garlic and tomatoes and cook for an additional couple of minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down. Add the cooked barley and breadcrumbs, and if mixture seems dry add a few teaspoons of broth. Season filling mixture with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Add the two cheeses, egg, and chopped parsley and stir until mixed. Use a tablespoon and stuff the pepper halves, pressing down mixture slightly. You should be able to use up most of the filling. Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup broth into the bottom of the baking dish, and then cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until peppers are tender and filling has just begun to brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
