Serving you 5 of your 5-plus-a-day veg and diabetes-friendly too, these Greek-inspired stuffed capsicums are well worth the time it takes to make them.
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Slice tops off capsicums, reserving. Remove and discard seeds. Set aside.
2 Place quinoa and 1 cup water in a saucepan and bring to the boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and cooked.
3 Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan over low heat. Add onion, garlic and courgette and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add oregano and paprika and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add mince, increase heat to medium and cook, breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until browned. Stir through olives, pine nuts, parsley and quinoa.
4 Spoon lamb mixture into capsicum shells. Top with lids and transfer to a baking tray. Lightly spray with olive oil, then bake for 45 minutes or until just tender and beginning to brown.
5 Transfer stuffed capsicums onto serving plates. Sprinkle over feta and extra parsley. Serve with salad leaves drizzled with extra olive oil on the side.
