1 hour and 30 minutes to prepare and cook. Serves 4.
| 2 large red peppers 3 tbsp (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil 1 onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, crushed 85g canned button mushrooms, drained ½ small butternut squash, peeled and diced |
200g can curry sauce 400g can red kidney beans, drained A little low-sodium salt and freshly ground black pepper 125g (4 oz) Goat’s cheese, roughly sliced 2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped fresh coriander |
1. Heat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas Mark 5.
Cut the peppers in half lengthways, keeping the stalk attached, and remove the seeds. Brush the outsides with a little of the extra virgin olive oil then place them, skin-side down, in a roasting tin, packing quite tightly so they don’t roll over.

3. Add the mushrooms and squash and continue cooking for a further 5 minutes.
4. Add the curry sauce and red kidney beans. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 – 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with the low-sodium salt and pepper. Stir in the Goat’s cheese and fresh coriander
5. Spoon the bean mixture into the pepper halves. Drizzle over the remaining olive oil.
Cover the roasting tin tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour until the peppers are tender.
