Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Parboil peppers 5 minutes in gently boiling water. Remove peppers: rim under cold water to stop cooking. When cool enough to handle, core peppers (discard stalks, seeds and white membrane).

While peppers cook, combine tempeh, tamari and water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Drain; transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in basil and garlic, mashing tempeh with back of spoon.

Using a teaspoon, fill peppers loosely with tempeh-tamari mixture. Place upright in lightly oiled baking dish; sprinkle with bread crumbs and drizzle with oil. Bake 25 minutes, then broil 2 minutes or until top is brown. Serve hot.

Makes 2 servings.

VARIATION: Stir minced ginger, onion or chilies into cooked tempeh-tamari mixture.
