Cooking Instructions:
-
1 Preheat an oven to 220°C. Lightly oil the capsicum and cook cut side up for 5 to 8 minutes, or until it begins to char. Remove from oven and leave to cool slightly, and reduce the temperature to 180°C.
-
2 Meanwhile cook the orzo pasta as per manufacturer’s instructions. Once cooked, drain well and place into large mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, zest, Tuscan seasoning, oregano, semi-dried tomatoes, half the parmesan cheese and half the pine nuts, and mix well.
-
3 Stuff the peppers with the orzo filling and tear pieces of bocconcini over each stuffed capsicum. Sprinkle over remaining parmesan cheese and extra Tuscan seasoning.
-
4 Return to the oven to cook for 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove from the oven and garnish with remaining pine nuts and fresh herbs.
Tips:
-
1 For a vegan friendly option, replace the parmesan and bocconcini with plant-based cheeses.
-
2 Add some cured meats such as salami or prosciutto for an extra dimension of flavour.
