Fry the red onion in a little olive oil until soft and lightly browned.
Place the tomatoes, black olives, breadcrumbs, stilton and flat leaf parsley in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper and add red onion.
Remove roasting tin from the oven. Spoon in the stilton mixture and drizzle each pepper half with a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Grill for 5 minutes until stilton has melted and top is lightly browned.
For the salad, place spinach (lightly torn if leaves are large), pinenuts and pomegranate seeds in a bowl. Add a little orange and lemon rind, lemon juice, olive oil and balsamic vinegar and season to taste.
Arrange salad on plates, pile grilled peppers on top and serve.
