Recipe: Scrummy Stuffed Peppers - 271 calories per portion

So I used a portion of the leftover Quorn Pasta Sauce that OH made last night to make a filling but low calorie fast day tea tonight.

Yes that's right that's even CHEESE on the top - cheese on a fast day is the height of luxury! Pictured with a side of Chilli & Garlic Mushrooms to give a total calorie count of 312 calories for my evening meal - perfect for a fast day!

Scrummy Stuffed Peppers (makes one portion)

Ingredients:

1 red pepper, halved & seeds removed
25g (dry weight) easy cook rice
1 portion Quorn Pasta Sauce
10g mature cheese, grated

Method:

Place the pepper halves on a baking sheet and put in a preheated 200ºC oven for 15 mins

Meanwhile, cook the rice in plenty of boiling water, until it is just under done, still with a slight bite.

Drain the rice and return to the pan, adding in a portion of the Quorn Pasta Sauce. Heat through until simmering.

By now the pepper halves should be ready to fill so remove them from the oven and stuff with the rice/sauce mix. Top with grated cheese and return to the oven for another 10-15 mins until the cheese is all melty and golden and the pepper is soft and sweet.
