Risotto Stuffed Peppers


Meat-Free Mondays - such a good idea but so difficult for these meat-maniacs! At first I thought it would be easy to go meat free. Then I realised that meat free means no beef, no chicken and no fish. Say what? Ok, we can do this we'll eat plenty of other stuff. Problem is MrB doesn't like salads or vegetables. But why don't we put those thinking caps on and get creative!

There were leftover yellow and red peppers from the weekend's salads and we had risotto in the cupboard. Viola! Risotto stuffed peppers! Yum!

Risotto Stuffed Peppers

1 pot mushroom risotto
4 peppers

Preheat the oven to 180. Slice the peppers about one third from the top. Remember, you want to make a safe, secure hollow for the risotto. Remove the seeds. Spoon generous amounts of risotto into the peppers. Bake in the oven for 20minutes or until the peppers are soft. Serve with a side salad or as is (depending on the size of your peppers).

The leftover risotto is delicious for lunch the following day!

Do you want me to do a post on making risotto?
