Biltong/Jerky and Spice Rub Stuffed Capsicums

Ingredients

Method

• Preheat oven to 190⁰
• Heat 1-2 tablespoons olive oil in a pan and sauté chopped onions until translucent and soft.
• Add the chopped jerky and cook for a few minutes.
• Combine the sautéed mixture with the cooked rice/quinoa and the diced tomatoes. Add black beans now too if you’re using them.
• Season generously with your favourite spice rub.
• Line an oven tray or dish with baking paper and place capsicum halves into dish.
• Fill each half with some of the mixture, pressing down to secure it.
• Drizzle with a little olive oil and cover dish with foil (shiny side down).
• Bake for about 25 – 30 minutes until the peppers are tender.
• Remove foil, sprinkle peppers with shredded cheese and bake for a further 5 – 7 minutes until cheese has melted. Alternatively, you can put the peppers under the grill to melt the cheese, but remember to watch them closely to avoid burning!
• Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
