Ingredients

Red pepper(s)

2 medium, tops cut off and deseeded

Yellow Pepper

2 medium, tops cut off and deseeded

Calorie controlled cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Beef mince, raw

200 g, (lean)

Spring Onions

4 medium, trimmed and chopped

Courgette

1 medium, finely chopped

Mushrooms

100 g, sliced

White basmati rice, dry

100 g

Vegetable stock cube(s)

¼ cube(s), 200ml stock

Tomato Purèe

1 teaspoons, level

Dried Mixed Herbs

1 teaspoons

Salt

1 teaspoons

Black pepper

1 teaspoons

Parmesan Cheese

4 tablespoons, grated

Dried Basil

1 teaspoons, level, to garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan oven 170°C, Gas Mark 5.
  2. Arrange the peppers in a baking dish.
  3. Mist a large saucepan with cooking spray. Add the minced beef and cook over a high heat until browned. Add the spring onions, courgette and mushrooms. Fry gently for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the rice, 200ml stock, herbs and tomato puree. Cook gently until the rice is tender and the stock has been absorbed – about 15 minutes. Add extra stock or water if needed. Remove from the heat. Season.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, use Quorn mince instead of beef. Just remember to check the SmartPoints!
