Stuffed Peppers (Vegan/Vegetarian/Low Carb) instructions
- Ingredients Below (add in or take out whatever you like! I change this slightly every time I make them depending what’s in my fridge). Adding chili sauce to the filling and or baking sauce is a winner! Adding Lentils is a good one also & you can’t go wrong with some cheese stuffed in the top before you close the lid.
- In the food processor, combine the Mushrooms, Cauliflower, Garlic, Onion, Sweet Pepper, Spices & Herbs (set a small handful aside to mix in the baking tray sauce).
- Line the baking tray with canned tomatoes, stir in a handful or the stuffing mixture (adds flavour) and parsley..
- Cut the tops off the capsicums (if haven’t already) & spoon the filling mixture into the capsicums. Replace the lid and place in tray of sauce.
- Bake for approx 30mins. Remove and serve (I like to sprinkle with Vegan or non Vegan Parmesan cheese).
