Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Brush the peppers inside and out with oil, then roast, cut-side down, on a lined baking tray for 14 mins until softened but still holding their shape. Drain any juices and turn the peppers over.
- Meanwhile, heat the rice to pack instructions. Transfer to a bowl and break up with a fork. Stir through the chickpeas, leftover tomato sauce, chopped koftas, olives and herbs. Fill the peppers with the mixture and crumble over the cheese.
- Bake for another 10-12 mins until the cheese is golden, the peppers are tender and the filling is hot throughout. Serve with a green salad, if you like.
- Tip: This recipe uses leftovers from our Lamb koftas in tomato sauce.
