Tuna, cheese and jalepeño in a healthy and delicious vessel and ready in a matter of minutes. This dish is a great starter or meal on it's own.

Getting started
2

Heat oven to 175C.

3

Put peppers into a large pot with just enough salted water to cover; bring to a boil and cook until the peppers are just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain peppers thoroughly.

4

Carefully cut the tops off of the bell peppers, and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.

5

Mix together all remaining ingredients (except the cheese and jalepeño).

Add the Collagen and/or Fibre (optional) to the mixture .

6

Stuff the mixture into the bell peppers and place on a foil lined baking sheet.

7

Put in the oven for 6-7 minutes or until peppers start to look tender (top edges begin to shrivel).

8

Top with cheese, if desired, and return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the pepper begin to darken and blister.

9

Add the jalepeño and serve.

I sometimes replace the tuna with cooked mince pork or shredded chicken. Stuffed Capsicum's are a versatile dish for any time of the day.
