1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Put the green and red bell peppers in a bowl, cover them with warm water, and soak for 5 minutes.
2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the pork is evenly browned. Drain the grease, then stir in the wine and the tomato puree. Keep cooking for 10 minutes.
3

Move the skillet mixture to a large bowl, and stir in the feta cheese, the cooked rice, the raisins, the pine nuts, and the parsley. Stuff the peppers with the mixture and place them in a baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil.

Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove the foil and bake for 10 more minutes, until the stuffing is lightly browned. Serve hot or cold.
