Spicy Cottage Cheese and Soya Granule Stuffed Capsicum

1Start by soaking the soya granules (1 cup) in hot water for about 15 minutes until they are soft. Drain and set aside.

2In a pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion (1) and sauté until translucent.

3Add the diced tomato (1), peas (½ cup), and sweet corn (½ cup) to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

4Stir in the soaked soya granules (1 cup), BBQ sauce (¼ cup), sweet onion, (¼ cup) chipotle powder (1 teaspoon), red chilli powder (1 teaspoon), salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

5In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese (1 cup) and curd (1 cup). Mix well until smooth and creamy. Add the cooked vegetable and soya mixture to the cottage cheese (1 cup) mixture and stir until well combined.

6Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

7Cut the tops off the capsicum and remove the seeds. Stuff each capsicum with the cottage cheese (1 cup) and soya mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.

8Place the stuffed capsicum in a baking dish and drizzle a little oil on top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until the capsicum is tender and slightly charred.

9Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Spicy Cottage Cheese (1 cup) and Soya Granule Stuffed Capsicum!
