How to Make Rice And Feta Filled Roasted Capsicums

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Halve 4 large capsicums (bell peppers) lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes.
  3. Place capsicum halves in a large baking dish.
  4. Roast uncovered for 15 minutes.
  5. While capsicums roast, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 small finely chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens (about 5 minutes).
  6. Add 1 cup long-grain rice, 1 ½ cups vegetable stock, ½ cup water, and the juice of ½ lemon. Bring to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally.
  8. Stir in 1 cup packed fresh spinach, ¼ cup chopped fresh mint, ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, and ¼ cup currants. Cook for 2 minutes until spinach wilts.
  9. Spoon the rice mixture into the roasted capsicum halves.
  10. Sprinkle generously with 100g crumbled feta cheese.
  11. Return capsicums to the oven and roast uncovered for another 15-20 minutes, or until feta is lightly browned and the peppers are tender.
