About This Dish:
I did not know "doria" was a Italian dish until today. I had always thought it was a type of French dish since it's so similar to gratin. In Japan, apparently it got popular in the 1920's in Yokohama according to this post. Doria is basically like a gratin but is made of rice, vegetables and meat; often mixed in white cream sauce and topped with melted cheese, cooked in a toaster or oven. This version of doria is a healthy version; no heavy cream, yay! The only doria like characteristic would be the melted cheese. I also use a regular pan, not an oven, so it's easier and quicker to make. 

I added chicken sausage to the rice but I highly recommend adding onion, carrots, ground meat of your choice to make it a little more fun. This dish is cute looking, healthy and tastes great. Perfect for when you have friends over.

What You Need:
(Makes 2 servings)
  • 2/3 - 1 cup rice (I used brown rice)
  • 1 large red bell pepper 
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 2 slices of cheese 
  • (Optional) Meat of your choice (I used 1 chicken sausage with red pepper and spinach from Casual Gourmet, otherwise you can add a ground meat of your choice or skip the meat all together!)
  • (Optional) Vegetables of your choice (I highly recommend popping in some chopped onions, carrots)
  • (Optional) Oil to saute your rice (I used 1/2 tbsp of organic coconut oil from Trader Joes)

1. Rinse the bell pepper, cut in half and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes on power level 6 (if you can select it).

2. Saute the rice and add meat/vegetables of your choice on MEDIUM to HIGH heat. If you are cooking raw meat, you might want to add the rice after the heat has gone through the other ingredients. Add ketchup, salt and pepper.

3. Stuff the bell pepper with the rice (I was able to fit around 1/3 cup). Top with sliced cheese and garnish of your choice (I happened to have rosemary). Put the lid on a LOW heated pan and cook for 10 minutes.
