Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Cut the tops off the capsicums and remove the seeds and membranes. Set them aside.
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the lamb mince to the pan. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the curry paste and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the canned tomatoes (with juices) and drained lentils. Mix well and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the peas, coriander leaves, and diced red pepper. Stir to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared capsicums, filling them to the top. Place the stuffed capsicums in a baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the capsicums are tender and the tops are slightly browned.
Carefully remove the capsicums from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional coriander leaves if desired.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and firm capsicums for stuffing, as they will hold their shape better during cooking.
- Use high-quality curry paste for a more authentic and robust flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less curry paste according to your taste.
- Prepare the filling in advance to save time when ready to stuff and bake the capsicums.
- Garnish with extra coriander leaves for a fresh and vibrant presentation.
