Roasted Red Peppers Stuffed with Goat's Cheese

 

Serves 4

 

Ingredients

 

2 red peppers

100g goats cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

15-20g pine nuts

A few sprigs basil

 

Method

 

Preheat the oven to 200C.

 

Simply cut your red peppers in half and place onto a roasting tray.

 

Divide up your goats cheese evenly into your red peppers and scatter on top your pine nuts. Place in the oven for 20-30 minutes, depending on their size.

 

You want them to be completely softened and taking on a bit of colour around the edges. Take out of the oven.

 

In a little bowl mix together your olive oil and chopped basil and drizzle over the top of your peppers before serving. Serve warm.

 

These yummy roasted red peppers make a brilliant quick children's supper (or adult side dish) served with some rice, wholewheat/brown rice pasta or a baked potato. They are deliciously sweet and as a result are often a big hit with little ones. They also work cold for picnics and lunch boxes. 

 

Peppers are bursting with vitamin C which is a key nutrient for our immune system. They also contain valuable antioxidants such as lutein for healthy eyes, and beta carotene which is converted to vitamin A in the body for immune and skin health. Goats cheese is also often better tolerated than cow's milk.
