Anleitung
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
- 2.Place the pepper halves on a baking tray, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and bake for 15 minutes to begin softening them.
- 3.While the peppers are baking, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- 4.Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until it's browned all over, then carefully drain any excess fat.
- 5.Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook for one minute more until the spices are fragrant.
- 6.Add the chopped tomatoes, cooked lentils, and half of the chopped parsley to the skillet. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken.
- 7.Carefully remove the peppers from the oven. Evenly distribute the lamb and lentil filling into the pepper halves.
- 8.Return the stuffed peppers to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
- 9.Garnish with the remaining fresh parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
