Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the green capsicums and remove the seeds and membranes.
- Blanch the capsicums in boiling water for about 2 minutes. Remove and place them upside down to drain and cool.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and red pepper, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes until the tomatoes have softened.
- Add the curry powder and mix well to combine.
- Stir in the cooked white rice, making sure it's evenly mixed with the vegetable mixture.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, grated parmesan cheese, and half of the cheddar cheese.
4. Stuff the Capsicums:
- Lightly grease a baking dish and place the blanched green capsicums upright in the dish.
- Fill each capsicum with the rice and vegetable mixture, packing it down slightly to fit as much filling as possible.
5. Bake:
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the stuffed capsicums.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly, and the capsicums are tender.
- Allow the stuffed capsicums to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
Tips:
- To make the capsicums easier to stuff, cut off the tops and remove the seeds and membranes before cooking.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes or a diced jalapeño to the filling.
- If you're short on time, use leftover cooked rice instead of cooking a fresh batch.
- Be sure to pack the filling tightly into the capsicums to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
- Cover the stuffed capsicums with aluminum foil while baking to keep them moist, removing the foil in the last 10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and brown.
By following these simple steps, you'll create a hearty and flavorful dish that's bound to become a family favorite. Stuffed green capsicums are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making them a great option for a wholesome meal. Enjoy your culinary creation!
