- 2 red capsicums.
They need to be round, about the size of a softball or grapefruit with a flat bottom so they will sit reasonably flat.
(Alternatively, use long red capsicums and cut in half top to bottom to make "boats". You may wish to cover the rice mix with alfoil so it doesn't dry out) - 50g dry basmati rice
- 100g quorn mince
- 1/4 large onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
- 4 large-ish mushrooms finely chopped
- 1 TB tomato paste
- 1 TB sundried tomato paste
- 1/2 TB chopped fresh basil or 2 tsp dry basil or Italian herbs
