|description=Baked sweet peppers stuffed with chorizo, mozzarella, herbs and breadcrumbs
}}

We had lots of [[Peppers|peppers]] left over from a large bag of 'wonky peppers' and as we always have [[Frozen|frozen]] [[Diced|diced]] [[Chorizo|chorizo]] and frozen [[Mozzarella|mozzarella]]; I thought I would make stuffed peppers. I used [[Panko]] [[Breadcrumbs|breadcrumbs]] and [[Fresh herbs|fresh herbs]], but a few tablespoons of [[Stuffing|stuffing]] would work just as well.

Be careful how much you make up as there's not much room in small [[Peppers|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|peppers]], our [[Chickens|chickens]] can have what we don't eat!

}}
===[[Mise en place]]===
* Preheat your [[Oven|oven]] to 220° C (425° F - gas 7)
* Squeezed and drain the mozzarella in a [[Sieve|sieve]] for an hour or two. If you don't do this, the mixture will be too wet.
===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Mix all of the [[Stuffing|stuffing]] ingredients together in a large bowl, mixing really well
| [[Spray]] the base of your [[Baking tray|baking tray]] with [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| Stuff the halved [[Peppers|peppers]] with the mixture
| Place the [[Peppers|peppers]] on the greased tray
| Cover with [[Tin-foil|tin-foil]] and [[Bake|bake]] for 1 hour
| Remove the [[Tin-foil|tin-foil]] and [[Bake|bake]] for a further 20 minutes
| 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
