Ingredients

  • Large bell peppers — 4
  • Cooked bread stuffing with herbs — 400g
  • Mature cheddar cheese, grated — 150g
  • Vegetable oil — 1 tbsp
  • Fresh parsley, chopped — 10g

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and white membranes.

  3. 3

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked herb stuffing with half of the grated mature cheddar.

  4. 4

    Stuff each pepper generously with the stuffing mixture, pressing down lightly.

  5. 5

    Brush the exterior of the peppers with the vegetable oil to help them char slightly.

  6. 6

    Place the peppers on the grill, using a sheet of foil if necessary to prevent them from tipping over.

  7. 7

    Grill for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the peppers are tender and the stuffing is piping hot.

  8. 8

    Top the peppers with the remaining cheese and grill for a further 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

  9. 9

    Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Why this works

The natural sweetness of the char-grilled bell pepper cuts through the dense, savoury richness of the herbal stuffing, while the molten cheddar adds a creamy, salty finish that ties the textures together.
