Put the spinach in a colander, then pour over the boiling water to wilt the leaves. Press out as much liquid as possible.

    I think this needed a little something extra. I added some crushed garlic and LOTS of seasoning to the spinach (which i used frozen and was fine). I also added so me lemon juice and zest to the crumbs which spiced it up a bit. I was serving as a main so put it with some pitta bread (was really nice stuffed with some of the peppers) and yoghurt with lemon and parsley stir through it)

    Delicious - I substituted pine nuts with macademia nuts, which worked wonderfully and gave added crunch. I also added extra cheese and chilli. Only comment I would make is that the peppers don't really need to be pre-roasted....you really can just make em' up and shove them in the oven and this also helps the peppers keep a little bit of shape. Lovely recipe.
