A comforting and flavour-packed dish, these stuffed peppers are filled with savoury beef mince, herbs, and a hint of sweetness from the roasted pepper. Crumbled feta adds a creamy, salty finish that lifts the whole plate.
Prep the Peppers:
Slice the tops off the peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Lightly rub with olive oil and place on a baking tray. Roast at 180°C for 15 minutes to soften.
Cook the Filling:
Heat a little olive oil in a pan. Sauté the red onion until soft, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef mince, breaking it up as it browns. Stir in cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, tomato purée, salt, and pepper. Cook for 10–12 minutes until rich and slightly thickened.
Assemble & Bake:
Spoon the beef mixture into the softened peppers. Top with crumbled feta. Return to the oven for 15–20 minutes until the feta starts to turn golden and the peppers are fully tender.
Serve:
Serve stuffed peppers hot, garnished with parsley, alongside the fresh salad.
Use the Ninja Foodi MAX on the bake/roast setting. Roast the peppers first for 10 mins, then cook the beef filling using sauté, and finish off the stuffed peppers in the bake mode for 15 mins.
