Preheat oven to 400 F.
Cook Arborio rice as instructed by the package (usually 2 cups of water per one cup of rice)
Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds and ribs.
Once rice is cooked, remove from heat and add dried plums, shallot, fennel seed, marjoram, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Spoon rice mixture into pepper halves and top with strips of provolone cheese. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until peppers are tender and cheese is golden brown.
