Instructies
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and membranes, and place them cut-side up in a baking dish.
- 2.Rinse the millet thoroughly under cold water. In a medium saucepan, heat 15ml of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until soft, about 5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- 3.Add the rinsed millet to the saucepan and toast for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
- 4.While the millet cooks, lightly toast the chopped walnuts in a dry pan over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.
- 5.Once the millet is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Stir in the toasted walnuts, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, and the remaining 30ml of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- 6.Fill each bell pepper half generously with the millet mixture. Pour about 1cm of water into the bottom of the baking dish to help steam the peppers.
- 7.Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is golden on top.
- 8.Remove from the oven, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
