ONE POT UNSTUFFED PEPPERS 🫑

ONE POT UNSTUFFED PEPPERS 🫑 Welcome to Day 1 of Part 5 of my ‘How to make 5 meals from a £25 shop at Aldi’ series. This meal came in at around £1.15 per portion and is certainly a whole lot easier (and I think, more delicious) than making stuffed peppers. One pot meals are definitely a favourite of mine, especially when you live in a house with a broken dish washer and have just had a major surgery! Honestly though, this is such a delicious dish; feel free to use a veggie mince if you're veggie or if you want to reduce the cost of it even more, reduce the amount of mince used, you could use half and it would still be more than enough food and super epic 🥰 Who fancies giving this one a try?! Save it for later 💜 Ingredients (serves 4): For the spice blend: 1.5 tbsp smoked paprika 2 tsp oregano 2 tsp cumin 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper 0.5 tsp chilli flakes Pinch of salt and pepper For the rest: 1 tbsp garlic oil 2 peppers, chopped 500g beef mince 200g rice 750ml gf stock 400g (1 tin) chopped tomatoes 2 tbsp tomato puree 75g mozzarella, grated Handful spring onion greens, chopped Method: 1) Heat oil in a large oven proof pot on a high heat. Add the peppers and fry until they start to char a little. 2) Add in the mince and fry until just browned. 3) Mix the spices for the spice blend together and add them to the pot, mix so they coat the peppers and mince. 4) Add in the rice and allow that to be fully coated in the spices too. 5) Pour in the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree and stock. Mix then pop the lid on and reduce the heat right down to a simmer. 6) Cook for about 40 minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid has reduced. I give it a stir every so often throughout to check on it. 7) Remove the lid and from the heat, sprinkle with cheese and pop under the grill until the cheese melts and turns golden. 8) Sprinkle with spring onion greens and serve up straight away.
