Method

  1. Use a small knife to cut the top out of the peppers, then scoop out the seeds. Sit the peppers on a plate, cut-side up, and cook in the microwave on High for 5-6 mins until they have wilted and softened.
  2. While the peppers are cooking, mix the rice together with the pesto and olives and two-thirds of the cheese. Scoop the rice into the peppers, top with the remaining goat's cheese and continue to cook for 8-10 mins

    This has become a staple 'quick meal' in our household and is thoroughly enjoyed every time! I use the Uncle Ben's Tomato rice also and low-fat goat's cheese!

    Thia is a great recipie but I made a few changes. I don't have a microwave so I made basmati rice and added turmeric, mixed herbs and cayenne pepper. I let the rice cool down, added the olives, cheese, finely chopped mushrooms and some red onion. I halved the peppers and baked for 15 mins then added the mix and baked for a further 15 mins. Really tasty.

    Delicious, although we ended up doing a non-speedy version using sushi rice (so the rice inside was ridiculously dense and sticky) and adding various vegetables to the stuffing. Goat's cheese stirred through, then topped with more goat's cheese. Think this will become a staple, especially as there are plenty of ways to vary it (different veg, different flavours of rice/herbs/sauces, and different cheeses).

    Very easy, straight forward recipe. Great for a quick mid-week dinner. Don't be tempted to serve more than one large pepper per person - it is really filling!

    These were tasty, quick and easy. I will definatley be making this again. I served this with some ratatouille and it was just right. I don't think the peppers would have been enough on their own.

    I find 8-10 minutes is too long in the microwave. Try 2-4 instead? I found it was great for that long. Also I used uncle bens Mediterranean rice.

    One of my all time favourite recipes. These are quick and tasty. I cook the peppers in the oven to give them a bit of extra colour and testure, generally I prefer to use cous cous rather than rice but you honesty can't go wrong with this recipe. I've passed it on to several people becasue I think it's so good.

    Really tasty, we used vegetable packet rice, Parmesan and a little Red Leicester (just what we happened to have in) and the star of the show, char-grilled aubergine pesto. Will definitely make again. We ovened them for 15-20 mins first.
