Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Brush the peppers inside and out with oil, then roast, cut-side down, on a lined baking tray for 14 mins until softened but still holding their shape. Drain any juices and turn the peppers over.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the rice to pack instructions. Transfer to a bowl and break up with a fork. Stir through the chickpeas, leftover tomato sauce, chopped koftas, olives and herbs. Fill the peppers with the mixture and crumble over the cheese.
  3. Bake for another 10-12 mins until the cheese is golden, the peppers are tender and the filling is hot throughout. Serve with a green salad, if you like.
