Simple Stuffed Peppers with Chorizo

A simple recipe that's a bit different and only takes 30 mins!

Bit messy to look at but lovely to eat!

THE RECIPE

Chorizo and cous cous stuffed peppers
(Makes 4)

4 Peppers
Chorizo - 1/2 pack
300g cous cous
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
2 tomatoes 
4 mushrooms
1 red chilli
Grated mozzarella (or cheese of your choice)

1. Preheat the oven to 190C.

2. Slice the top off each pepper, remove seeds and hollow out.  Place on a baking tray and put in oven for 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, prepare cous cous according to pack instructions.

4.  Heat some oil in a pan and add chopped onion and garlic.

5. Chop and add all other veg, stirring occasionally.  Then dice the chorizo and add to the pan.  (Add a little hot sauce or black pepper here if you like)

6. Fluff up the cous cous with a fork, add the contents of the pan and stir up together. 

7.  Remove the peppers from the oven and fill with the cous cous mixture.  Add some grated cheese on top and return them to the oven for 5 minutes. 

That's it! Serve with salad for lunch or with meat for dinner.  They are more filling than they look though - 2 is probably enough for a meal.  I also had some cous cous mixture left over which I had for lunch the next day. 

Enjoy!
