Heat the oven to 190C/ Fan
170C/ Gas 5. Halve the peppers lengthways, then remove the
seeds and core but keep the stalks on. Rub the peppers
with a drizzle of olive oil and season well. Put on a
baking tray and roast for 15 mins.
-
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive
oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Fry the mince for
2-3 mins, stirring to break up the chunks, then tip onto a
plate.
-
Wipe out your pan, then heat
the rest of the oil over a medium-high heat. Add the
onion, stir-fry for 2-3 mins, then ass the cumin and
mushrooms and cook for 2-3 mins more.
-
Tip the mince back into the
pan and add the chopped tomatoes and the tomato puree.
Crumble in the stock cube and cook for 3-4 mins, then add
the oregano. Remove the peppers from the oven and fill
them with as much of the mince as you can. Top with the
cheese and return to the oven for 10-15mins until the
cheese starts to turn golden.
-
Carefully slide the peppers
onto a plate and serve alongside a pile of your chosen
greens, blanched, steamed or boiled.
