PRAWN AND CHICKEN PEPPERS

Preparation Method :

• Cut the pepper in half lengthwise and remove the cores and seeds. Leave the stems attached.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the onion, celery, garlic and chicken.
• Cook over moderate heat until the vegetables are softened and the chicken is cooked.
• Add the prawns and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the stale breadcrumbs and add enough beaten egg to make the mixture hold together.
• Spoon filling into each pepper half, mounding the top slightly. Place the peppers in a baking dish that holds them closely.
• Pour enough water. Cover and bake in a pre-heated 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4 oven for about 45 minutes, or until the peppers are just tender.
• Sprinkle each with the dried breadcrumbs and place under a preheated grill until golden brown.
