Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Halve the bell peppers lengthways and remove seeds and membrane. Place cut-side up in a roasting dish. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season. Roast 15 min to par-cook.
- Meanwhile, mince the garlic. Crumble the feta. Roughly chop the black olives and sun-dried tomatoes.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, feta, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and dried oregano. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and mix well. Season with pepper (go easy on salt — feta is salty).
- Spoon the filling generously into the par-roasted pepper halves, pressing down slightly.
- Return to the oven and bake 15–18 min until the filling is hot and the edges of the peppers are nicely charred.
- Scatter with fresh basil and serve immediately.
