Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F / 200°C
- If not using leftover rice, cook the rice according to packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, for the walnut meat: add the walnuts, 1 tablespoon of oil, soy sauce, garlic powder and salt and pepper to a food processor. Whiz until crumbly, but don’t over-process it or it will become puree.
- Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and cook the onion for 3 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Add the can of chopped tomatoes and their juice, along with the dried thyme and dried oregano. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, then and stir in the rice and walnut meat and season with salt and pepper.
- Half the peppers lengthways and remove the seeds and membrane.
- Place the peppers, cut side up, onto a lightly greased baking dish. Spoon the mixture into the peppers, then sprinkle the top with cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until the peppers are soft. Remove the foil and cook for a further 5-10 minutes to brown the cheese.
Notes
- Note: the amount of filling needed will depend on the size of the cavities of your peppers. Any leftovers can be heated in a pan and served on its own as a side dish to another meal or in tacos.
