Bell peppers are among the richest dietary sources of vitamin C — a critical antioxidant that protects neurons from oxidative damage and supports the synthesis of norepinephrine, a key neurotransmitter for focus and mood. Red peppers also contain quercetin and luteolin, flavonoids that reduce neuroinflammation. Rice provides slow-release carbohydrates for sustained brain energy. Tomatoes deliver lycopene for neuroprotection. Fresh herbs add rosmarinic acid and apigenin for additional neuroprotective benefits. This vibrant, satisfying dish is as easy to make as it is healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e🗄️ Cabinet Ingredients Needed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRice — CAB-93 (ing-cab-930)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra Virgin Olive Oil — CAB-54 (ing-cab-540)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiced Tomatoes Undrained — CAB-53 (ing-cab-530)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCumin Ground — CAB-50 (ing-cab-500)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOregano Dried — CAB-84 (ing-cab-840)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalt — CAB-95 (ing-cab-950)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Pepper — CAB-21 (ing-cab-210)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarlic Clove Minced — CAB-59 (ing-cab-590)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegetable Broth — CAB-128 (ing-cab-1280)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e🛒 Fresh Ingredients Needed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Bell Pepper (ing-fr-1030)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItalian Parsley Fresh Minced (ing-fr-540)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrumbled Feta Cheese (ing-fr-220)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e🍋 Not Applicable (NA)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLemon Fresh (ing-na-160)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e👨🍳 Cooking Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
