Amazing Stuffed Capsicum

Submitted by Caithi Romeo

"This is great using Banana Capsicum ( basically a small banana shaped red capsicum that looks exactly like a huge chili) as I find that the usual sized capsicums are a little too much. Anyway, a great recipe!"

Amazingly scrumptious! I used normal size capsicums so used two of them with the same amount of stuffing and found it far from too much, although I was using it as a major component of the meal. Rather than cook under a grill I cooked in an oven for 30 minutes at 180'C (350'F).
