Stuffed Peppers

Get into the spirit of fun (and flavour!) with these Halloween-inspired stuffed capsicums. Filled with savoury taco-seasoned beef and brown rice, then baked until tender and cheesy, they’re equal parts wholesome and playful. Serve them with a chilled Beautiful Energy Raspberry for a tasty boost that’s as vibrant as your spooky creation.

Ingredients (per serve):

• 1 yellow capsicum, medium
• 125 g cooked brown rice
• 1/4 onion, chopped
• 1/4 garlic clove (or 1 small clove), minced
• 125 g beef mince (assuming recipe is 500 g for 4 serves)
• 1/4 tsp taco seasoning (or to taste)
• 10 g cheese (to top; 40 g total divided by 4)

Beautiful Energy Raspberry on the side

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Cut the capsicum to create a pumpkin face (eyes, nose, mouth) and remove seeds.
3. In a pan, sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened.
4. Add the beef mince and taco seasoning; cook until browned and cooked through.
5. Place open capsicums on a tray and stuff the capsicum with the beef mixture.
6. Top with cheese and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until the pepper is tender and the cheese is melted.
7. Remove and place the “lid” back on. Serve with cooked rice and BE Raspberry on the side.
