What to add to your trolley:
- 4 large green peppers, halved and seeded
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cooked rice, quinoa or couscous
- 250g lean ground beef or ostrich mince
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes or passata
- ½ tsp dried oregano or thyme
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup grated mozzarella or white cheddar
- Optional: corn, black beans, chopped spinach or herbs
How to prepare the deliciousness:
1. Preheat oven:
Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly oil a baking dish.
2. Sauté onions:
Heat olive oil in a pan. Sauté onion and garlic until soft. Add mince and cook through.
3. Combine:
Stir in tomatoes (or Passata), herbs, rice (or grain), salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes. Spoon filling into the pepper halves. Place in the baking dish.
4. Bake:
Sprinkle with grated cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 25–30 mins. Uncover and bake another 10 mins until peppers are tender and cheese is golden.
For a vegetarian twist, skip the mince and use lentils or chickpeas. Add herbs and chopped figs for extra flair!
