Recipe
Cut peppers lengthwise through stems; remove stems and seeds. Drop pepper halves into boiling water; boil, uncovered, for 2 minutes, then plunge into cold water and drain well.
Stir together rice, almonds, green onions, tomato, parsley, 1 cup of the cheese, eggs, Worcestershire, basil, and garlic salt and pepper to taste. Mound mixture into pepper shells. Place peppers in a shallow baking pan; sprinkle tops equally with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. If made ahead, cover and refrigerate.
Bake, uncovered, in a 375-degree oven for about 35 minutes (45 minutes if refrigerated) or until filling is piping hot.
