Instead of filling the peppers whole, I halve them for maximum cheese coverage. You may not want this dish spicy so the chilli’s can be left out.
4 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 chilli (optional), finely chopped
500 g beef mince
500 g passata
1 tbsp dried oregano
200 ml beef stock
4 peppers, halved
100 g grated mozzarella
Preheat the oven to 180C fan
Add half the olive oil to a frying pan over a low heat. Sauté the onions for 5 minutes, add the garlic and chilli and continue to sauté for a further 5 minutes.
Turn the heat up, add the mince, season well with salt and pepper. Mix into the onions and brown all over. Add the passata, oregano and stock. Lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, lightly grease a baking tray, add the peppers cut side up, drizzle with the remaining olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast for 20 minutes.
Once the mince is cooked, spoon into the pepper halves, top with cheese and return to the oven for 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly coloured.
I served this with my Greek salad (but this time I cubed the salad and Feta) and Nick’s Tzatziki.
