COOK'S NOTES FOR SPANISH STUFFED PEPPERS
Spanish cuisine relies on top quality ingredients cooked to perfection and
this recipe epitomises those principles. Take one largish red sweet pepper,
some chorizo, grated Manchego cheese with cooked rice and an egg and you
have a very appetising and good looking meal.
Simple and quick to cook Spanish stuffed peppers can really be prepared
and cooked in 40 minutes from beginning to end. The sweet red peppers (try
green or yellow ones if you prefer) look great stuffed with the rice. All
the ingredients in this recipe are approximate and can be varied according
to your taste.
We include cooking the rice in the recipe instructions but leftover
cooked rice will do equally well.
RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
Place the chopped Chorizo into the sliced sweet peppers and place them on a
baking tray in the pre-heated oven.
Let the red peppers roast for 10 minutes then remove them from the oven, tip out the
Chorizo onto the baking tray and place the Chorizo and sweet peppers back
into the oven for five more minutes.
STEP 2
While the sweet peppers are roasting break the egg into a mixing bowl and
whisk lightly with a fork. Add the cooked rice, cheese and mustard, stirring
the mixture well. Add in the cooked chorizo and stir again.
Stuff the sweet peppers with the mixture filling them well but being
careful not to tear the peppers.
Place the filled peppers back into the oven for a final 15 minute
roasting. Serve immediately.
