Notes

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp. bulgur wheat/couscous

  • 2 Romano red peppers, halved and deseesed

  • 1 tsp. light olive oil/vegetable oil

  • 3 sausages, skinned

  • 1 tsp. garlic paste/1 clove garlic, crushed

  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano

  • 1/2 tsp. chilli flakes

  • 400g tin cherry tomatoes

  • handful basil, torn

  • 25g Parmesan

  • Green salad, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas mark 6.

  2. Drizzle a little oil over the pepper halves and season. Bake for 15 minutes.

  3. Cook the bulgur wheat/couscous according to packet instructions.

  4. Place the sausage meat in a frying pan over a medium heat, and break up - you want to aim for a very coarse mince. The sausages should release enough fat to fry themselves, but if not, and a little oil. Once the sausage meat is starting to brown, add the garlic, oregano and chilli flakes and cook for a few minutes.

  5. Add the tinned cherry tomatoes, season and simmer for 20 minutes.

  6. Add the bulgur wheat/couscous and basil to the sausage tomato mix, and scoop it into the peppers.

  7. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the top, and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes.

  8. Serve with a green salad.
