Method

0 of 6 done

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6).
Slice the top off the red bell pepper and remove the seeds and membrane inside. Rub the outside with half a tablespoon of olive oil to lightly coat it.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, diced cherry tomatoes, chopped spring onion, and finely sliced fresh basil. Add salt and pepper to taste, then drizzle over the remaining olive oil. Mix until well combined.
Stuff the pepper with the cottage cheese mixture, pressing down gently to fill it completely.
Place the stuffed pepper in a small baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the pepper is tender and starting to caramelize around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
