Airfryer Stuffed Peppers: last MEAL from the BUDGET BOX
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2024
- The last meal from the £1.50 Budget Box, so four meals/recipes created from that bargain vegetable box. I am pleased I managed to make 4 meals/recipes.
First time stuffing peppers and they were surprisingly lovely. Slight fail using light cheddar - never again!! it's like plastic.
The new potatoes from the Budget Box were sprouting but I pulled them off, washed the potatoes and roasted them with thyme - delish!
Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching....

Ingredients:
bell peppers, I used yellow and orange cut in half - insides removed
100g Cous Cous (enough to fill 4 halves)
2 slices of bacon, crispy & finely chopped
1 red onion, finely sliced
handful of spring onions, the greens
grated cheese for the topping
butter or oil to fry the onion etc
(you could vary above depending on what’s in your kitchen, a bolognese sauce would go very well)
Cut the pepper in half and remove the insides (seeds) no need to remove stalk, wash under tap and set aside. Melt the butter and fry the onion, spring onion greens and crispy bacon bits. In a bowl, put 100g cous cous, add seasoning if you wish and pour in just boiled water (100ml) and cover, leave for 5ish minutes before fluffing up with a fork. Add the fried onion/bacon mix to the cous cous and mix thoroughly. Spoon into prepared peppers, pushing down and filling to the top. Sprinkle the grated cheddar on top, season to taste and pop into the Airfryer
Bake Setting for 10-15 mins at 180c/350f (adjust times depending on your AF, always check as AFs vary in cooking time by a few mins or so)
I had mine with roasted New potatoes on the side.
Looks delicious Kerry it's made me feel hungry I love all your videos I watch every one xx
Hi Kerry,they looks so good,well done,enjoyed the video
Thank you Lois!👋😀💕
Very tasty looking dinner Kerry,well done spreading the box contents over so many meals Xx
Thank you Ricky👋😀💕hope you and Carole are well
I have to agree that does look very nice, my sort of food for sure. I like them with a salad. Nice having new pots roasted sometimes nice sometimes not think it depends on the potato. How is your diet of a kind going. Hope your feeling the benefit. I am like you enjoying veg dishes but also meat dishes . Just really cutting out carbs where I can or reducing right down. Have lost about 2stone in total. Times it went back by a few pounds.
,But that was due to having birthday and treats at Xmas. but been strict over past 12 weeks,
Mmm kerry these look delicious 😋 we'll done on all the meals you got out that box. ❤😊
Thank you Sandra😀💕
Well done you Kerry ! They look a lot better than the 1980s mince and onion stuffed peppers I remember! 😂love your channel also pop into your allotment too! Rosie is lovely! John in Cotswolds
Just amazing what you can achieve with determination and enthusiasm . Well done you nailed it !!!!! Lorraine
Thank you Lorraine!👋😀💕
I always parboil my peppersbefore filling them. That way they cook all th way through. Halve and empty them before boiling.
I'll do that next time thank you😀👍💕
Even your ingredients list for this is making my mouth water as we all know Peppers deserve to be stuffed and eaten 😶 but don't tell the peppers that
You mention during the video, this will make a lovely lunch; I totally agree, and believe that should be true, bon appetit...
Looks lovly. Welldone. I love stuffed peppers. You mention the peppers. Needed a bit longer. !? I parboil mine. Halfed. in.microwave. fir few minutes. Before filling them. & find thats helps cooking time. !, ❤
That's a fab tip on how to parboil them, thanks a mil for that😀👍💕
❤ I just half them. Empty. & cover with water. Only Need 3/5 mins. Let cool a bit. & fill. Ready for A Fryer. Enjoy
Hi Kerry, you work miracles! I love couscous too. Good idea putting the bacon in, I bet it just lifted it. Have not tried peppers like that in the af yet but roll on shopping day😁 You did so well with your box, I will be keeping an eye out for sure. See you on the next one, byee 👋Jen 💕😘xx
This meal looks absolutely delicious and I am certainly going to try it. Many thanks.
Thank you Carol👋😀💕
Thank you so much for this. I was wondering what to make tonight for dinner. Now I know. xx
Aw that's lovely Joy, thank you 😀💕
I love orange and yellow peppers but never stuffed them they do look nice
It was yummy😋😋😋
looked great Kerry!
Well done Kerry ! Love luscious and would not have thought to use it as I have always seen peppers with rice stuffing .
One to make soon methinks! 💐🙂
Thank you 👋😀💕
Hi Kerry
Hi Jennifer 👋😀💕💕
Hi There Dear Kerry ,Look Delicious stuffed peppers look so good I use boiled Rice , So yummy ideal with salads in the summertime Xxx
Thank you, will try with rice next time😋😋👍💕
That looks very tasty.Well done.
Thank you💕💕
I love stuffed peppers and make them a lot cut as you have done. I always add a drizzle of oil over the top allowing it to drizzle down the peppers which I will have placed on tin foil in the air fryer. I find a longer slower bake works well and gets the peppers nice and soft with some caramelised edges. All nice with a few added dried sultanas or raisins in the stuffing mix.
Hi Kerry, lovely meal again. Can I just ask why you put the peppers on bake setting and not roast? I am never sure which setting to use for cooking different foods. Perhaps you could do a video on that xx
That's a good idea thank you for that, I'm not sure why lol but it would be a good vlog to explore what is different about each setting😀👍💕
I'm sure it was lovely but for my taste it all could have done with cooking a bit longer and it just looked a little bit dry, I'd have added some kind of sauce to it. However well done on using that fab box of veggies, what a bargain! xx
Thanks June😀👍💕 that's true, I did say that re cooking for a bit longer for a more 'well done' roasted pepper during the taste test, it's tricky when you cannot see the bottom nor be able to turn it upside down during cooking. Was very tasty😋
Hi Kerry if you can find them you can also stuff the Really large tomatoes, if you've any leftover in your cupboard you can always use a pack of the more 'exotic' stuffing mixes, or if you've got them throw some golden sultanas into your cous cous
Oh that's an idea thanks so much Bill😀👍💕
They looked great... I prefer top and sides to be soft but bottom crunch on peppers to give texture.
A favourite filling is left over rice especially if I have done a Chinese Special Rice day before or if I have plain boiled rice left I throw in Indian Spices and whatever in fridge.
Those boxes are such good value.
It is now 1am and after many years of night duty and being a natural Owl I am wide awake so I have pea and ham soup on while I iron and catch up on You Tube.
Lucky in morning I can do 8 to midday sleep and all will be well 💜
Meant to be cous cous not luscious but it works !😂
😄I like luscious 💕💕
Looks delicious Kerry I haven’t had stuffed peppers in years..would the peppers be softened if you part cook them first then add the filling for the remaining cooking time? Your potatoes looked amazing
Hi Kerry, I hope you're well.
I liked the look of that dish! When I make couscous I always put a chicken stock cube in as well. Not sure if it's the right thing to do but tastes good so can't be too wrong!! Maybe mix some cheese in with the couscous before cooking may help it not get too dry??
I'm growing bell peppers for the first time. They're looking good so far so it they survive I'll be trying this. 🤞😉
Hi Mark, am very well thank you👋😀 I'm loving your chicken stock in the cous cous thing - will definitely try that next time. Are you growing your bell peppers in a greenhouse? I'd love to grow them but they'd be outside, might be worth a go - hmmm food for thought!😄👍
Hi Kerry. Yes I got a greenhouse last year so trying peppers. That said, it does say they can grow outside. I'm guessing a sheltered sunny spot and a decent summer!! 🤔🤣🤣 They're slow to grow from seed though, needed to start February indoors. Might be worth seeing what the garden centres have though.
@@markgriggs8987 good idea re garden centres - thanks Mark, I'd love a poly tunnel on my allotment....ah dreams lol
