Heat the oven to 200C/ Fan 180C/ Gas
6. Cut the tops off the peppers, remove and discard the
seeds. Drizzle with a little oil. Sit them in a snug
baking dish, cover with foil and put in the oven to start
cooking while you make the filling.
-
Heat a non-stick pan and cook
the lamb mince until browned all over (you won't need any
extra oil for this). Add the onion and cook until
completely softened, stirring now and again. Add the
cinnamon and cook for a minute. Stir in the rice and
parsley and mix really well.
-
Take the peppers out of the
oven and spoon in the lamb mix. Mix the passata and stock
with 2 tbsp olive oil. Season and add another pinch of
cinnamon. Spoon over and around the peppers. Put the foil
back on and bake in the oven for 1 hour. You want the
peppers to be really tender and just holding their shape.
Serve with a salad and the sauce from the pan spooned
over.
