Ingredients
- 3 red peppers
- olive oil
- 1 large red onion peeled and cut into wedges
- 1 medium fennel bulb trimmed and cut into wedges
- 3 cloves of garlic crushed, peeled and sliced
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 7 oz goat's cheese
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 120°C/gas 1/2. Cut the peppers in half and remove and discard the entire core. Lightly oil a baking tray and place the peppers on it.
- Put the onion, fennel and garlic in a bowl, drizzle over some olive oil and add seasoning. Mix to coat the vegetables in oil and seasoning, and then divide them among the peppers, stuffing them inside the pepper halves. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes.
