Cooking steps
1
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Halve the potatoes lengthways, quartering any larger pieces.
- Pop onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread out on one-half of the baking tray (leaving room for the peppers).
- Roast on the top shelf of the oven until golden, 25-35 mins.
2
- Cut the caps off the peppers and remove the core and seeds (reserve the caps for serving).
- When the potatoes have been cooking for 15 mins, place the peppers—open-side up with the caps next to them—on the tray alongside (use two baking trays if necessary).
- Return to the oven for remaining time, 15-20 mins.
3
- Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
4
- Place a pan over medium-high heat (without oil).
- Fry the beef until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Meat is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Add Central American spice and garlic. Fry for 30 secs.
- Add tomato paste, sweetcorn, ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) and 75ml water (per 2P). Cook for 2-3 mins. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the mince is too dry.
5
- Remove the peppers and the caps from the oven.
- Stuff the peppers with the spiced mince.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Return to the oven (with caps on the side) until the cheese has melted, another 5 mins.
Little Chef's TIP: Have the kids help stuff the pepper.
6
- Divide the stuffed bell pepper between plates.
- Sprinkle with coriander. Place the caps back on top.
- Add the roasted potatoes alongside.
