Bell Peppers stuffed with left over pasta

Ingredients:

2 small bell peppers or 1 large bell pepper cut into half
Left over orzo pasta or any spicy filling.
1/2 cup soya granules
1 tsp dill or herb mix
1/2 tsp paprika - optional
1/2 tsp ground pepper
oil

Method:

1) Preheat oven to 350 F.

2) Soak soya granules as per packet instructions

3) Cut the tops of the bell peppers and remove the stems and seeds. Place bell peppers cut side down on a steamer or on a steaming rack over an inch of water and steam for 10 mins.

4) Heat 2 tsp oil in a pan. Add paprika and stir for few secs.

5) Then add the soya granules and stir for 3-4 mins to cook the soya. Add a little water if required.

6) Once soya is done add the left over pasta and fry in high flame for 2-3 mins.

7) Add the dill or herbs, ground pepper and mix. Set aside

8) Once the bell peppers are done, remove from steamer and place them on a baking tray or pyrex bowl. Stuff the bell peppers with the soya-pasta mixture. Drizzle olive oil over the stuffed peppers. Oil will help in browning the peppers. Sprinkle the top with paprika.

9) Place on the middle rack and cook for 25-30 mins.

10) Serve hot or warm
