Arrange the peppers in a medium rectangular baking dish.
In a large skillet, sauté onions, garlic and rice in olive oil, for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add tomatoes, chicken stock, raisins, almonds, green onions, cayenne and herbs
Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer for 8 minutes on low heat. Do not cool.
Fill the peppers with rice mixture and cover with tops.
Drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Season again with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Bake in middle of oven for 45 to 50 minutes.
If peppers look dry at any time and rice is not cooked, cover lightly with foil and keep cooking.
Tops should be golden and just shrivelled.
