Ingredients
I’ve used green peppers for these vegetarian curry stuffed peppers. I like the slightly bitter taste of them with the spices here. Feel free to use yellow, red or even orange peppers here whatever you prefer.
Other veggies are grated carrot and grated tomato (this makes it super easy to mix with the other ingredients), onion and garlic plus lemon zest and some fresh coriander.
Cooked rice – I’ve used Basmati rice.
Curry spices
I’ve used turmeric, ground cumin, chilli powder and garam masala, plus a little salt.
Method
Making these vegetarian curry stuffed peppers really couldn’t be easier.
Simply mix all your ingredients together in a bowl (not the peppers obviously!).
Then cut the tops off the peppers and scoop out seeds and membranes. Reserve the tops.
Stuff your vegetarian curry and rice filling into the peppers and pack it down, top with the hats
Place in a small baking tray that just fits the peppers so they won’t topple over and drizzle with olive oil and pour about 1cm of water in bottom of the oven dish.
Bake in a preheated oven for about 40 minutes
Serving
Simply serve your vegetarian curry stuffed peppers as they are, it’s a meal in its own little container. Add a pitta or nan bread if you want more carbs and maybe a salad on the side.
You can serve these stuffed peppers either hot or cold.
