After all, what ’ s life without a fiddling cheese ? however, if you have any leftover Mexican vegetable rice or blue turmeric rice then those would be big fillings ! alternatively, you could use my microwave risotto with clean herbs – it should make the perfect sum to fill one pepper !

A single-serving gorge pepper recipe made wholly in the microwave ! The peppers are stuffed with a delectable bum, buttery rice mix, with optional add-ins including chili peppers for spice or extra mozzarella on lead for more gooey cheesiness.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp diced onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 35 grams (3 tbsp) basmati rice
- 120 ml water
- 30 grams (1/8 cup, 1 oz) baby spinach
- 4 tbsp (1/4 cup) grated parmesan
- 2 tbsp chopped basil
- 1 red bell pepper, hollowed out
Instructions
- Add 1 tbsp butter to a medium microwave-safe bowl and melt (approximately 20 seconds).
- Add the garlic and onion and stir. Microwave 30 seconds to soften.
- Add the rice and water. Cover with microwave-safe clingfilm and pierce several times. Microwave in 2 minute increments until all the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked (around 10 minutes total).
- Add the spinach. parmesan, basil and remaining 1 tbsp butter. Stir to combine and re-cover with clingfilm. Microwave 1 minute until spinach is wilted.
- In a separate bowl, place the pepper top-down in around 1″ of water. Cover with clingfilm and pierce several times. Microwave until the pepper is softened to your liking – around 5 minutes.
- Remove the pepper from the water and fill it with the rice mixture. Cover with pierced clingfilm and microwave until everything is hot and cooked to your liking, around 2-3 more minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
optional add-ins :
- diced chilli pepper – add with the garlic and onion. I’d recommend 1/2 a chilli pepper per serving
- mozzarella – top the filled pepper with slices of mozzarella and in the final step, microwave until it is melted to your liking
- bacon – add in 2-3 tbsp cooked diced bacon with the spinach, basil and parmesan
Our microwave is 700 watts. You may need to adjust cooking times depending on your own.

If you ’ re looking for a delectable, easy side dish for this recipe, I truly recommend my bum garlic butter pinwheels, although the peppers are pretty filling therefore possibly split one pepper between two if you plan on adding a side serve. For an easy, single-serving dessert, try my brownie in a clash – it ’ s a arrant share and is soooo rich and fudgy it ’ mho equitable irresistible ! enjoy !
