Chorizo & Rice stuffed Peppers


I had a bit of Chorizo left so I decided to make these stuffed peppers.  It was a bit of a challenge because my oven is not working (it blew up last week!) but I was very happy with the end result as they were really tasty.

Original Recipe and Pictures by Amanzi - Fundu.

Ingredients:

2 x Red Peppers
2 x Tablespoons Oil
1 x Onion, diced
1 x Teaspoon Garlic, diced
1 x Teaspoon mixed herbs
½ x Teaspoon Sugar
½ x Teaspoon chilli, dried and crushed
¼ x Chorizo Sausage, cut into coins.
1 x cup Rice
4 x Cups Chicken Stock
½ x Can chopped Tomatoes
¼ x Mozzarella Ball, sliced

Method:

Put the peppers in a preheated oven and cook for about 10 mins.
Alternatively, place in the microwave and cook for 2 mins.
Remove and stand aside.

Heat the oil in a pot.
Add the onion, garlic, herbs and chilli and cook for 2 – 3 mins.
Add the chorizo and cook for a further 2 mins.
Add the tinned tomato and sugar.
Add the rice and stir well.
Add the stock and bring to the boil.
Reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 7 – 8 mins or until rice is done.

Spoon the rice mixture into the peppers, sprinkle with the mozzarella and grill for 2 – 3 mins.
