Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas mark 7. Put the peppers on a large baking tray, mist with cooking spray, toss with ½ tbsp smoked paprika and season well. Roast for 15 minutes, or until tender.
  2. Microwave the rice to pack instructions then set aside for 5 minutes to cool. In a large bowl, combine the cooled rice, carrot, pomegranate seeds, mint, lemon zest and juice, then season to taste. Gently stir in the peppers until combined.

Notes

Griddled or poached white fish would work just as well in this dish. The SmartPoints will remain the same.
