    1 Pre-heat oven to 180° on fan bake. Cut a large circular hole around the stem on the top of each capsicum. Pull out the stem and remove seeds from the inside of the capsicum. Place capsicums in a greased roasting dish, stacked next to each other to help them stand up.

    2 Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and cook until soft. Stir in the lentils, chilli beans, tomatoes, carrot and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, until sauce is thickened.

    3 Stuff each capsicum with the lentil mix and top with a sprinkle of cheese. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and capsicums are softened.

    4 Serve alongside mixed salad greens.
