Method

  • 1. Preheat an oven to 180°C.

  • 2. In a medium sized pan, heat the oil and add the onion and celery to cook for 3 minutes. Add the carrot to cook for 3 or 4 minutes until softened. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

  • 3. In a medium sized bowl place the sunflower seeds, walnuts, oregano, chilli flakes, mustard, herbs, eggs and salt and pepper. Add the onion mix, season and stir well.

  • 4. Cut the capsicums in half and scoop out the seeds. Divide the nut mixture by 4 and fill each half.

  • 5. Place the filled capsicums in an ovenproof dish and top with grated cheese.

  • 6. Pour the water or chicken stock around the capsicum and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. If they are browning too quickly, place a bit of tinfoil over the top.

  • 7. Garnish with extra chopped parsley, and serve as an accompaniment to your meal.
