Method
- Cook the rice according to the packet instructions until just tender. Drain.
- Meanwhile, slice the tops off each tomato to make lids. Remove the middle from each tomato with a spoon and place all the seeds and pulp into a food processor. Add the green pepper, garlic, parsley, smoked paprika and seasoning and blitz to a purée. Take the blade out of the processor and stir in the drained rice.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6.
- Arrange the tomato shells and halved peppers, cut side up, in a large ovenproof dish or roasting tin. Spoon the flavoured rice into each, roughly a dessertspoonful in each tomato and 2 dessertspoonfuls into the peppers. Cover the peppers with some foil and replace the tomato lids on the tomatoes.
- Roast the peppers and tomatoes in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Leave to cool completely, cover and store in the fridge until required.
