===Method===

| Sauté, stirring often, for about 10 minutes.
| Add the [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] and the seasonings, and cook for a further 10 minutes, stirring from time to time.
| Stir in the [[Parsley|parsley]] and [[Cheese|cheese]], cook for a further 5 minutes and then remove from heat, setting aside for 10 minutes to cool a little.

| Put the [[Peppers|peppers]] into a large [[Casserole dish|casserole dish]], standing upright and pour in the [[stock]] or water.
| Cover the dish and [[Bake|bake]] for 45 minutes.
| I used an old potato with the base cut flat to support the peppers whilst they cooked.
| While the [[Peppers|peppers]] are cooking, make the [[Sauce|sauce]] by combining all the ingredients in a bowl.
| When the 30 minutes cooking time is up, pour the [[Sauce|sauce]] over the [[Peppers|peppers]].
| Carry on cooking until the [[Sauce|sauce]] has thickened and turned golden.

===Serving suggestions===
Serve with [[Salad|salad]] and [[Potatoes|potatoes]] and/or [[Rice|rice]].
===Variations===
You can this mixture to stuff other [[Vegetables|vegetables]], eg 8 medium-large [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]], 8 medium [[Courgettes|courgettes]], 10-12 [[Artichoke hearts|artichoke hearts]] or even [[portobello mushrooms]].
===Chef's notes===
Not having any [[celery]], I used a large bunch of leaves from my [[cutting celery]] - I also added plenty of fresh [[basil]] too. Following Delia's advice of years ago, I used [[crème fraiche]] instead of [[yogurt]] because it is far less likely to split when heated.

I would reduce the [[salt]] if you are using [[halloumi cheese]] or if the stock you are using is already fairly salty.

This recipe was a great chance to use lots of Annabelle's lovely dark and nutty olive oil, pressed from here own plantation - ''second pressing''.

The sauce turned into a sort of cement. It tasted really nice but was rather odd!
