Golden stuffed peppers

2 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Yellow peppers
175 grams Courgettes; grated
1 small Onion; chopped
225 grams Canned sweetcorn drained and pur‚ed
50 grams Cheddar, finely grated
1 Egg; beaten
Pepper

Directions

Yellow peppers have a gentler, sweeter flavour than red or green, and this mellowness is taken up by the grated courgettes and sweetcorn in the stuffing. The stuffed peppers are covered with grated cheese and baked - a delicious meal that you can serve with rice or potatoes and a tossed salad.

Blanch the peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain, cut in half and deseed them. Mix the grated courgette and chopped onion into the sweetcorn pur‚e and add half the cheese. Mix well and then stir in the beaten egg. Mix thoroughly and season to taste. Pile into the halved peppers. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese and bake at 180 degrees C / 350 degrees F / gas 4 for 25 minutes. Serve hot.
