ABOUT STUFFED BELL PEPPERS RECIPE

This is a vegetarian version of Mexican stuffed bell peppers. I have used soya granules to replace the minced meat.

Ingredients Serving: 3

Bell peppers / Capsicums .... 3 or as needed (one of each colour)
Cooked rice ..... 1 cup
Boiled Rajma / kidney beans ... 1 cup
Cooked soya mince ................. 1 cup
Coriander.. 3 tbsps (finely chopped)
Onion ...... 3 tbsps (finely chopped)
Tomato ketchup .... 2 tbsps
Chilli sauce ............ 1 tbsp (optional)
Mustard sauce ........ 1 tbsp
Tomato puree .......... 1 cup
Garlic ................... 1 tsp (crushed)
Salt .. to taste
Cheese .... 3 tbsps (grated)

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the cooked rice, rajma, soya mince, chopped onion and coriander leaves or any fresh herbs. Stir in a small portion of the prepared sauce to it. Keep the rest of it for later use while baking.
Try to select the same size peppers. Wash them well. Cut out a thin layer at the top and remove the seeds and membranes carefully. Rinse them from inside.
In a large pan boil water and cook the peppers for 1 minute. The water should cover them.
Remove them in a plate and spoon the mixture into them.
Take a baking dish and pour the remaining sauce into it. Place the stuffed peppers on the sauce.
Cover the dish with a foil and bake in a pre-heated oven for 10 to 12 minutes at 250 degrees C. Remove the foil and further bake for 5 more minutes.
Finally top them with a little grated cheese and place them in the oven for a minute or until the cheese melts.
Serve hot immediately from the oven.
