Steps

1 hr approx

1

Preheat the oven to 190°c fan
2

Cut the peppers in half length ways. Remove the core and the white pith. Rub the pepper halves in oil and then sprinkle salt and ground black pepper to taste. (Don't add too much salt because there is salt in the filling and the cheese) Put the peppers onto a baking tray and set aside.
3

Get a large frying pan, non-stick preferably. Put some oil in the pan. Then add the onion, potato, garlic, ginger, chilli flakes and spices. Then add salt and ground black pepper to taste.
4

Fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring every now and then, until the onion is starting to soften and the potato is clumping together and becoming sticky.
5

Add a bit of water to the pan, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. So not much at all. Put some sort of lid over the pan and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Then remove the lid and stir. All the liquid should be gone. If it isn't then simmer without the lid until it is.
6

Put the peppers into the oven, without any filling, for 10 minutes. This starts them cooking.
7

Then remove the peppers from the oven, add the filling evenly between the 4 pepper halves. Then cover the tray with aluminium foil. Put the tray back into the oven for 15 minutes.
8

Remove the tray from the oven again. Remove the foil. Then put the tray back into the oven for 25 minutes.
9

Remove the tray from the oven again. Then top the peppers with grated cheese. And put back into the oven for a further 10 minutes to melt and crisp the cheese.

Serve as a side dish. Works well with lots of different meats and with barbeque food.
