Start by cooking your rice according to packet instructions and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4. Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and core.
Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Mince the garlic clove and sauté in the oil for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the blanched broccoli, cooked rice, dried mixed herbs, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Stuff the hollowed bell pepper with the broccoli and rice mixture, pressing down slightly to pack it tightly.
Place the stuffed pepper in a small baking dish. Cover with aluminium foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the pepper is tender and slightly charred at the edges.
Serve hot as a delightful and healthy meal.
