I decided to go for a gluten free version, inspired from a dish that I had the very first time I came in the UK, in 2005, with rice, tomatoes, peas and herbs, and now I will guide you through this gorgeous Stuffed Peppers with Tomatoes and Peas dish.

Stuffed Peppers with Tomatoes and Peas Recipe

Ingredients:
3 Peppers
150 g Cooked Rice
50 g Frozen Peas
100 g Tomato Passata
2-3 Fresh Tomatoes
1 Red Onion
3 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 cloves Garlic
½ teaspoon Chilly Flakes
½ teaspoon Paprika
Dill
Basil
Parsley
Salt
Pepper

Method:
Preheat the oven at 180° C.
Cut the upper bit of the peppers, arrange the bottoms on a plate and microwave at 800W for 4-5 minutes.

In the mean time chop the onion, season with some oil, salt and pepper and a splash of water and microwave for 3 minutes.

Finely chop the tomatoes and the herbs. Add to the rice along with peas, onions, passata, paprika, chilly, garlic powder, 2 tbs of olive oil, salt and pepper.

Mix well and microwave for 5 minutes.

In a baking tray arrange the peppers and season with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chilly flakes, fresh garlic, salt, pepper and herbs.

Stuff with the rice mixture,

cover with their lids and bake for 20 minutes, fan mode.

*For the remaining rice (if any left) I usually dice a roasted pepper (because I like the how this flavoured rice taste with peppers, although feel free to omit it as it's still good without), add it to the mixture, microwave for a couple of minutes more and serve :)*
