Stir in the garlic, tomato pieces, breadcrumbs, walnuts, chopped parsley, chilli flakes and pesto until thoroughly combined.
  2. Cut the peppers in half from top to bottom. Carefully remove the seeds and membrane. Place in a small foillined roasting tin and fill with the mushroom stuffing. Cover the surface of the stuffing with a small piece of foil. Bake for 35-40 mins until tender.

    This recipe turned out really well, it was delicious! I left out the breadcrumbs and put some grated mozzarella and cheddar on top instead before I baked them in the oven. Lovely light supper for the summer.

    These were lovely and so tasty. I used pecans instead of walnuts and wholemeal breadcrumbs. If I made again, I would crumble up some feta cheese into the mixture. Heated up well the next day too.

    These are really yummy - i used fry light spray oil rather than oil and only half the pesto as watching the old tummy line and they ewere still yummy. I grated cheddar onto my other halves to give him a little naughtiness, this would work well with feta or gaots cheese too or a little manchego.

    Really tasty and easy to make, although I did make a few swapsies - I used toasted cashews instead of walnuts as I'm not keen on walnuts, and cooked quinoa in place of the breadcrumbs for increased nutritional value and nicer texture. I also used a sundried tomato pesto as I couldn't find an off-the-shelf pesto suitable for vegetarians (all contain Parmesan which is never veggie friendly - please keep that in mind if you're making this for vegetarians). I also confess to omitting the chilli flakes. I have never understood why pain is meant to be pleasurable while eating...
