Steps:
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cut away the tops from the peppers (reserving these for later, including the stalks), then scoop out the seeds using a spoon and discard.
- Cook the rice following pack instructions. Heat the oil in a medium frying pan and cook the carrots, mangetout and spice mix for 5 mins until the vegetables have softened, then stir in the rice.
- Drizzle the hollowed-out peppers with a little olive oil and sprinkle over a pinch more of the spice mix and plenty of seasoning. Put the peppers cut-side up on the baking tray and spoon the rice mixture into the hollows, packing it in with the spoon. Drizzle with a little chilli sauce or hot sauce, if you like, then put the reserved pepper pieces back on top. Cook for 15-25 mins in the oven, or until the peppers are soft and tender but not collapsing.

PEPPERS-STUFFED-FROM LIDIA RECIPE - (4.7/5)
Provided by [email protected]
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Cook the Arborio rice in a large saucepan of boiling water until al dente-tender but firm-about 12 minutes. Drain and cool to room temperature. While the rice is cooking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F., prepare the peppers, and start the filling: Cut the stems from the peppers and scrape out the seeds and membranes with a teaspoon. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Scrape the onion into a mixing bowl, add the ground meat, egg, grated cheese, parsley, oreagano, and cooked rice, and stir together until evenly blended. Divide the filling among the peppers, using about 1/4 cup to fill each pepper loosely. Rub the outside of the peppers lightly with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, placing them in a 13"x9" baking dish as you do so. Roast the peppers, turning once or twice with tongs, until softened and lightly browned in spots, about 20 minutes. Pour in enough of the tomato sauce barely to cover the peppers. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove, and let stand 10 minutes before serving. Makes 4 servings
THE BEST STUFFED PEPPERS
We've made this classic easier and faster by using the microwave to par-cook the peppers, saving you about 45 minutes of cook time! This is a great recipe to use up leftover rice. Be sure to really pile in the filling (mounding it is ok) as it will shrink as it cooks.

Steps:
- If your peppers don't sit upright on your cutting board, trim about 1/8-inch off the bottoms to even them out so they can stand without falling over. Cut the top off each pepper about 1/2-inch down. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the remaining flesh from the tops. Scoop out the seeds and as much of the membranes as you can. Place the peppers in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1/2 cup water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high power for 12 minutes. Carefully uncover and let them sit until ready to assemble.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread the beef in an even layer and cook undisturbed until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, breaking up any clumps with the back of a spoon and scraping up any browned bits from the pan until the meat is lightly browned all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the browned meat to a large bowl with a slotted spoon.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and add the reserved chopped peppers, onions, garlic, thyme, 4 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until falling apart and much of the liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly until brick red colored, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine and cook until the mixture is reduced, very thick and no smell of alcohol remains, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Transfer to the bowl with the beef. Stir in the rice until completely combined. (The mixture will be wet.) Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
- Place the peppers cut-side up in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Spoon the filling into the peppers, gently pressing it in with the back of a spoon. Be careful not to overstuff and split the sides of the peppers. Bake for 15 minutes. Then top with the cheese and continue baking until the filling is heated through and the cheese is browned in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.

ROASTED PEPPER ROLLS STUFFED WITH TUNA
Peperoni Farciti con Tonno e Acciuga, Lidia Bartianich's Newletter. The combination of sweet, meaty roasted peppers and well-seasoned oil-cured tuna is wonderful! Any fresh, meaty sweet bell-type peppers are suitable, different colors makes a nice presentation. Peppers always taste better when roasted at home but a jar of roasted red peppers can be substituted. The tuna filling is delicious on crostini or crackers: the sandwich, is out of this world!:).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Rub the peppers all over with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with ½ teaspoon salt and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast for 30 minutes or so, turning the peppers occasionally, until their skins are wrinkled and slightly charred.
- Let the peppers cool completely.
- Slice in half (through the stem end), discard the stem, peel off the skin and slice the halves lengthwise into strips 2-inches wide.
- Scrape the seeds from the strips and lay them in a sieve to drain and dry.
- To make the stuffing, drain the tuna, and break it into flakes in a medium-size bowl.
- One at a time, mix the seasonings into the tuna with a fork: chopped anchovies, capers, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, parsley, 2 tablespoons olive oil and about ½ teaspoon salt.
- Stir vigorously, breaking up lumps of fish, until the stuffing is soft and fairly smooth.
- Add more of any seasoning to taste.
- Drop a scant tablespoon of stuffing at one end of each roast pepper strip and roll it up snug, creating a neat cylinder.
- Press the pepper as you wrap so it adheres to itself and stays closed.
- To serve, arrange all the rolls on a platter, drizzle a bit more olive oil all over and sprinkle lightly with coarse salt.
