Ingredients
Stuffed peppers
Instructions
-
Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Slice the tops from the peppers and remove the seeds and white membrane. Stand them in a baking dish and bake for 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.
-
Heat the oil in a frying pan and soften the onion for 4 minutes. Add the turkey mince and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
-
Add the courgette and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in half the chopped tomatoes, the cooked rice and oregano. Season well.
-
Spoon the filling loosely into the four peppers. Pour the remaining tomatoes around them, top each pepper with mozzarella and bake for 20–25 minutes until the peppers are soft with natural wrinkles and the cheese is golden.
-
Scatter with parsley and serve.
Note
Choose naturally shaped peppers with around four broad lobes rather than unusually segmented peppers. Do not over-pack the filling.
