Emma I was looking for something a bit different from my usual dinner options and decided on a meaty stuffed pepper, no rice just vegetables and meat, and some chilli! I had a couple of sachets of Capsicana Chilli powder to try and thought this was an ideal time. Opting for the Bhut Jolokia for a good kick.
Ingredients:
4 green peppers (cleaned with seeds and tops removed)
gloop of extra virgin olive oil
2 onions (chopped )
3 garlic cloves (small to medium sized minced)
500g minced beef
2 cans of chopped tomatoes
Any vegetables you like such as mushrooms, courgettes.

You can also top with some cheese and sour cream for extra toppings.
The chilli sauce was astounding, I have to add a lot of sour cream to temper the heat. Next time I’ll use less!
