Ingredients

Calorie controlled cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Peppers, all types

4 medium

Onion

1 large, finely chopped

Garlic

3 clove(s), finely chopped

Parsley, fresh

2 tablespoon(s), finely chopped

Dill, Fresh

1 tablespoon(s), finely chopped

Tinned Tomatoes

1 can(s), large

White Long Grain Rice, dry

90 g

Turkey breast mince, raw

350 g

Olive Oil

1 tablespoon(s)

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 190°c, fan 170°c, gas mark 5.

2

Slice the tops off the peppers, reserving them. Carefully remove the seeds and trim a thin sliver off the bottom if the peppers don't stand upright.

3

To make the filling, combine half the onion, half the garlic, parsley, dill, 1⁄4 tinned tomatoes, rice, turkey with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.

4

To make the sauce, heat a large nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the oil. Fry the remaining onion for about 3 minutes until translucent. Add the remaining garlic and cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Stir in the remaining tomatoes, a pinch of salt and 175ml water. Bring to a boil over a high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 1 minute.

5

Loosely stuff the peppers with the filling (leaving enough room for the rice to expand) and nestle the peppers in a baking dish. Replace the pepper tops and spoon the tomato sauce around the peppers in the baking dish.

6

Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 75-90 minutes until the peppers are tender and the rice is cooked.
