Ingredients:
| 4 Pepper, Sweet Red or green |
| 1 tablespoon Olive Oil |
| 1 cup Onion chopped |
| 2 Stalks Of Celery diced |
| 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin Seed |
| 1 teaspoon Chili Powder |
| 1 teaspoon Basil |
| 1/2 teaspoon Oregano |
| 2 cups Brown Rice cooked |
| 1 1/2 cup Kidney Beans cooked and drained Red |
| Cayenne Pepper to taste |
| 1 1/2 cups Canned Tomatoes with juice |

Directions:
1. Wash the peppers and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds.
2. Place the peppers, cut side facing down, on a rack above boiling water.
3. Cover the pot and steam for about 10 minutes, or until the peppers are just beginning to get soft. To ensure even cooked, do not stack the peppers on top of each other; keep them in a single layer. If you have a wok with a steaming rack, all the peppers can be steamed at the same time. If not, do them in two batches.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onions, celery, cumin, chili powder, basil and oregano. Saute until the onions are almost tender.
5. Add the cooked rice and beans. Mix well; then add the cayenne to taste. Mix again.
