Baked stuffed capsicums

These stuffed capsicums are bursting with flavour. They’re so easy to make, and look beautiful on the dinner table. Serve as they are, or with a side of rice for added texture.

Ingredients:

Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  2. In a frying pan, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onions, zucchini, garlic and pine nuts. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Increase the heat to high and add the spice mix. Allow to cook while stirring for one minute.
  4. Add the mince and stir with a wooden spoon. Cook for about six minutes, or until the mince is browned.
  5. Add the stock and simmer for five minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add most of the coriander to the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Carefully remove the tops and cores from the capsicums (you may want to remove a little from the bottoms to even them out as well). Spoon the mixture into the hollow capsicums and bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Take the capsicums out and sprinkle over some cheese, and bake for a further 10 minutes, or until the capsicums are just tender.
  8. Serve capsicums hot with the remaining coriander leaves sprinkled over the top.
