Four yellow peppers carved like jack-o-lanterns and stuffed with wild rice, vegetables, and diced Quorn Pieces.

These Halloween stuffed peppers with Quorn Pieces are great fun for the kids to make – they can even lend a helping hand when cutting out the faces on the peppers. Alternate the rice filling for couscous or brown rice and use different coloured peppers to switch things up!

Ingredients

100g Quorn Pieces, defrosted
50g wild rice
50g courgette, grated
50g carrot, grated
1 tbsp. toasted pumpkin seeds
1 tbsp coriander, chopped
½ tsp. smoked paprika
1 tbsp. lemon juice
Salt and pepper

Method

Cook the wild rice as per pack instructions. Drain and set to one side.
Using a small serrated knife slice the tops off each pepper keeping the green stems on and de-seed. Use the knife to create two triangle shaped eyes, a nose and a spooky mouth on each pepper.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Blanch the peppers and lids in the boiling water for 5 minutes. Place the peppers onto a baking tray.
To make the filling, place the cooked wild rice, Quorn Pieces, courgette, carrot, pumpkin seeds, coriander, smoked paprika and lemon juice into a bowl and mix well. Season to taste.
Spoon the filling into the blanched peppers and top with a pepper lid.
Pre-heat the oven to 180C (fan)/ 200C/400F/gas mark 6.
Cook in a pre-heated oven for 20 minutes.
