Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Cook the rice until just done. Drain and set aside.
Cut the tops off the capsicums and remove the seeds and membranes.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the beef mince for 6–8 minutes until browned.
Add garlic, diced tomatoes, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the cooked rice.
Stand the capsicums in a baking dish. Fill each one firmly with the beef and rice mixture.
Top each capsicum with grated cheese.
Pour a little water into the base of the dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for a further 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and the capsicums are tender.
