Baby capsicum filled with three cheeses and chilli


Capsicum is generally filled with meat however as I rarely eat red meat, I have made it for vegetarians.

The mixture of the three cheeses, make this a very interesting and unusual way to make the capsicums.

If you like hot dishes, double the amount of chilli in this recipe.
