1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the peppers for 5 mins. Remove and drain, cut side down, on some kitchen paper.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion for 3 mins until tender. Add the cumin and chilli or cayenne pepper and cook for a further 2-3 mins. Add the courgette, then cook for 4 mins until tender.
3. Remove from the heat, then stir in the sweetcorn, avocado, cheese, coriander and seasoning. Spoon the filling into the peppers, then stand them in a baking dish. Drizzle with remaining oil, then bake for 30-35 mins until the peppers are very soft.
4. Leave to stand for about 5 mins, then serve warm with soured cream, a chilli bean salad and corn chips.

  I made this at the weekend to serve as an accompaniment at our Spanish themed bbq. I only used half the quantities of red onion and courgette and omitted the avocado. I found i had ample filling and would have had too much if i'd used the avocado. I also wanted to make it in advance and have it ready to put in the oven half an hr before serving so knew the avocado would have turned brown. I didn't have any coriander so ommited that ingredient too! This dish was very tasty which i think was helped by using a fresh chilli and it made a nice alternative vegetable/side dish. I would definately make it again.

  My boyfried just made these for me. We only had one each and I wish we had the stuff to make more. We left out the corgettes and red onions because we didn't have any and the recipe still worked. Lovely, refreshing, veggie summer meal. Perfect.
