Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Lay the whole peppers in an oiled baking dish or tray in a single layer. Drizzle with more oil then season. Bake for 20 minutes then take out and cool a little.
step 2

While the peppers are in the oven, cook the red onion, jalapeños and garlic in a little oil until softened, then stir in the rice, tomato and coriander. Cool, then stir in the mozzarella and season.

Carefully cut a slit down the centre of each pepper, scoop out any seeds and pith and stuff with the rice mix. Put back in the oven for another 20-30 minutes until the peppers are soft and the tops are golden.
step 4

Mix the salsa ingredients with 1 tbsp olive oil and spoon over to serve.
