Chorizo and mozzarella stuffed peppers

We had lots of peppers left over from a large bag of 'wonky peppers' and as we always have frozen diced chorizo and frozen mozzarella; I thought I would make stuffed peppers. I used Panko breadcrumbs and fresh herbs, but a few tablespoons of stuffing would work just as well.

Be careful how much you make up as there's not much room in small peppers, large ones would be better on reflection.

We've done this for two people, but I imagine we will eat all of the cheesy, meaty stuffing but we won't eat all of the peppers, our chickens can have what we don't eat!

Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 4 sweet peppers sliced in half, lengthways
• Try to retain some of the pepper around the stalk area or you stuffing will leak out
• 400g pack of Morrison's diced chorizo
• 1 mozzarella ball, torn into shreds
• 50g grated or sliced gruyere, or cheese of your choosing
• A huge good handful of freshly chopped herbs; parsley, thyme, sage, chives, chive flowers
• A tablespoon of cornmeal to absorb some of the fat
• A pinch of salt and pepper

Mise en place

• Preheat your oven to 220° C (425° F - gas 7)
• Squeezed and drain the mozzarella in a sieve for an hour or two. If you don't do this, the mixture will be too wet.

Method

1. Mix all of the stuffing ingredients together in a large bowl, mixing really well
2. Spray the base of your baking tray with olive oil
3. Stuff the halved peppers with the mixture
4. Place the peppers on the greased tray
5. Cover with tin-foil and bake for 1 hour
6. Remove the tin-foil and bake for a further 20 minutes
7. I initially cooked these at a lower temperature and they were a little undercooked so I added some Marmite stock for the last hour and increased the heat to 220 for the final hour

• 

  Cooked; after a little marmite stock was added for the last hour to steam and assist final cooking
