Method

  • step 1

    Heat the barbecue or griddle pan to hot. Rub the outside of the peppers all over with the olive oil.

  • step 2

    Stuff the peppers with the mozzarella, olives, oregano and garlic, and drizzle with a touch more olive oil, if you like.

  • step 3

    Pop on the barbecue, stuffed-side up for 12-15 mins until the pepper is nicely charred (or roast in the oven at 220C/200C fan/gas 7 for the same amount of time).

RECIPE TIPS
TIP

To get that extra-smoky barbecue flavour, place the barbecue lid on while you cook the peppers, or cover with an upturned roasting tin.

Really nice :) I used halloumi cheese and added chorizo and olives though next time I will leave out the chorizo sausage. To be repeated :)

Did them on a barbecue and they went down very well and easy to make in advance

Not a big fan of olives or oregano--left them out but doubled the garlic. Cooked for the last 5 minutes under the broiler, cheese got deliciously burnt and bubbly. Will definitely be making it again.

I found the flavours really bland, bit of a disappointment as expensive ingredients.
