Ingredients

  • 4 large red bell peppers
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup long grain rice rinsed and drained
  • cup vegetable broth
  • cup jarred tomato sauce
  • 1 14-oz/400g can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 2 scallions sliced
  • ½ cup parsley roughly chopped
  • 1 lime sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas 4. Grease a large, rimmed baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray. Set it aside.
  • Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds. Place the peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling. Heat olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Add onion, cumin, and oregano; generously season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent. Add rice, vegetable broth, and tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover it with a lid. Cook, covered for 12-15 minutes until the rice is cooked through. Add beans and frozen corn and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the corn is warmed. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
  • Remove peppers from the oven. Flip them over and stuff them with the rice and bean mixture. Top with cheddar cheese and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes until the peppers are soft and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve topped with scallions, fresh parsley, and lime slices. Enjoy!
