The complete list of ingredients and full instructions for making this recipe can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

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 for these stuffed peppers with curry, whatever you prefer or happen to have in the fridge.

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. You can use a ready-made curry spice mix or even your own homemade curry spice mix.

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 into the 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 vegetarian stuffed peppers either hot or cold which makes them ideal for a picnic too!
