I love cooking as much as the next person but there comes a time when you simply cannot be effed to put in the hard yards to scrape together a decent meal. Stuffed capsicums are a perfect solution to that problemo because they take no time at all, look like you put in a bit of effort and they’re dope for using up all the bits and pieces you have left in the fridge.

Ingredients
- 2 capsicums (any colour you like)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 brown onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups vegan mince (I used Gardein but you could also use finely chopped tofu, tempeh or beans)
- 1 cup pasta sauce (use your fave)
- 1/3 shredded vegan cheese
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray or dish with baking paper.
- Chop the capsicums in half lengthways, trim off the core and scoop out the seeds before popping them in the dish.
- In a small frypan, heat the oil before throwing in the onion and garlic.
- Once the garlic and onion have started to brown it’s time to get that mince into the mix.
- Stir the mixture frequently for 5-10 minutes until it starts to darken and chuck in the pasta sauce.
- Keep on cookin’ for a further 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Carefully spoon the mixture evenly into the capsicums before sprinkling with vegan cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until the cheese has melted nicely.
- Serve with salad or vegetables and enjoy!
