Mediterranean Filled Capsicums

A vibrant, grain-free take on a classic comfort dish, swapping heavy rice for nutrient-dense grated broccoli and savory beef mince, all finished with a salty pop of feta. The perfect low carb option.

Ingredients:

• 6 capsicums

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 3 garlic cloves, chopped

• 1 large onion, diced

• 2 carrots, diced

• 1 head broccoli, grated

• 450gm premium beef mince

• 1 bunch parsley

• 1 small jar or can of organic tomato passata

• 1 tsp paprika

• 50g tomato paste

• 100g feta, chopped into cubes

• Salt & pepper

Directions:

1. In a medium fry pan, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin oil. Saute the chopped onions, garlic and carrots until golden. Now add the mince and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until deeply browned. Season with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Stir in the canned tomatoes and tomato paste. Leave to simmer for 45 minutes on low.

2. At 30 minutes, add in the grated broccoli, mix to combine. Simmer on low for another 15 minutes.

3. While the mince is simmering, grill the capsicums in the oven for 10-15 minutes, covered and turning as needed.

4. Assemble the capsicums, open-side up in a baking dish filled with ¾ cup broth or water. Fill each of the capsicum with the mince mixture and place cubed feta through each capsicum.

5. Cover and bake with foil for 20-30 minutes.

6. Remove from oven and garnish with parsley and some grated cheese if you wish.
