Ingredients
Method
- Cut tops off capsicums and reserve as lids. Discard core and seeds. Place capsicums on baking tray (place lids on tray beside capsicum, stalk side up).
- Heat oil in a large heavy based saucepan. Saute onion until soft. Add lentils, stock cube and water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Stir through rice.
- Add boiling water, ½ cup at a time, adding the next ½ cup after the liquid is absorbed.
- Fold through parmesan cheese. Spoon risotto into capsicums. Combine Weet-Bix, extra cheese and oil. Sprinkle over risotto.
- Bake in a hot oven, 200°C for 25 minutes or until capsicums are soft and topping has browned. To serve replace lids on capsicum.
