Easy stuffed peppers

Great tip microwaving the peppers first to soften them. Stuffed ours with a packet of tomato risotto rice and used mozzarella and parmesan rather than goats cheese. Served with mixed salad and garlic bread.

These are a regular in our house. So quick and easy to do midweek after a day at work. I use tomato and basil rice and cut up olives and feta cheese to mix into the mixture. I usually cook the peppers for 3-4 mins in the microwave and then put them in the oven at 200 degrees C for about 20-25 mins. The cheese (usually a mix of cheddar and parmesan) then goes lovely and crunchy. Often serve a half pepper stuffed with a bit of chilli con carne mixture as well or a few baked mushrooms if there are any needing using up. Usually have with salad and homemade coleslaw.

Make this quite a bit, really enjoy it, as do the children. Never know what to serve with it though? A salad?

Lovely tasty recipe. We served with a mixed salad on the side.

Really enjoyed this! Very yum. Didn't fancy pre-cooked quick rice, so I used a recipe a Texan friend gave to me: basmati rice, cooked in chicken stock and then fried in olive oil and garlic with tomato puree, and bit of cajun seasoning.

This is a great, tasty recipe!

As several others commented, I use basmati rice which I always have ready in the freezer, who needs ready cooked stuff when it is so easy to cook a big batch and freeze in whatever size quantity is best for you? So a quick flash in the microwave and rice is ready serve or fry with other ingredients etc.

Cooked it with Tula sweet chilli and lime rice, red pesto, and green and black olives. I made two peppers so I cooked them for two mins to start with then a further five mins. Absolutely delicious.
