These colourful roasted peppers are packed with fluffy bulgur, chickpeas, tomatoes and herbs. Ya Salam! Turkish All-Purpose Seasoning gives the filling plenty of character, making this a satisfying vegetarian supper rather than a token side dish.

🥣 Ingredients

• 4 large red or yellow peppers, halved lengthways
• 150g bulgur wheat
• 300ml hot vegetable stock
• 400g tin chickpeas, drained
• 200g cherry tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tbsp Ya Salam! Turkish All-Purpose Seasoning
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley or mint
• Juice of ½ lemon
• Salt and black pepper
• Yoghurt or hummus, to serve

🍳 How to Make It

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C fan. Arrange the pepper halves in a baking dish, brush with half the oil and bake for 15 minutes.
2. Put the bulgur in a bowl, pour over the stock, cover and leave for 12 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
3. Mix the bulgur with the chickpeas, tomatoes, seasoning, remaining oil, herbs and lemon juice. Season to taste.
4. Spoon the filling generously into the pepper halves. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 10 minutes.
5. Serve warm with yoghurt or hummus and extra herbs.
