Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spoon 1/4 rice mixture into each pepper
and cover with reserved "lids". Pour 1/2 cup of water into baking dish;
cover tightly with foil and bake 50-60 minutes until peppers can be
pierced easily with a knife. Using a slotted spoon, remove peppers to a
platter, garnish with parsley sprigs for "stems" if desired, and serve.
