Ingredients
- 4 large peppers (colours of your choice)
- 1 x 400g can cannellini beans, drained
- 50g button mushrooms, quartered
- 14 cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 2 tablespoons passata
- 100g goat’s cheese, cubed
- 1–2 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or mixed herbs
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Method
- Line the bottom of the slow cooker with foil. Then preheat the slow cooker if necessary.
- Slice off the top of the peppers and remove the core and pith. Set aside until needed.
- Transfer all the remaining ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly. Spoon equal amounts of the mixture into each pepper, pressing down to ensure no spaces are left. Put the pepper tops back in place and transfer into the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook for 4–5 hours on low. For a quicker cooking time, set the slow cooker to medium and cook for 2–2.5 hours.
- Carefully remove from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon as the pepper will be very soft.
