About

It is common for us to eat vegan foods with fresh green chilli – we take bites in between morsels. Chilli powders and pastes are generally the preferred accompaniment for meat dishes. This stuffed green chilli is an occasional one that Mum only makes when guests are coming.

Method

Mix the onion, tomato, olive oil, lemon juice and salt in a bowl.

Split the chillies lengthways on one side, keeping the stems, and scrape out the seeds.

Use a spoon to stuff the green chillies with the onion mixture, and close back up.

Serve with shiro.
