Spicy capsicum bowls with brown rice

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Cut capsicums in half lengthways and discard the seeds.

2 Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. When hot, spray with oil and cook mince for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

3 Add carrots and celery to pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add tomato paste, beans, mince, water and chilli (if using) and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

4 Divide mince mixture between capsicum halves and bake for 20 minutes until capsicum has softened. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for another 3-4 minutes until cheese has melted.

5 Serve with steamed rice on the side.
