We own quite a lot of cookbooks. I'm semi-obsessed with them. (I like to read them even if I'm not looking for recipes - I just love the photos and the descriptions of food. Is that weird? It's probably weird.) I definitely have my favourites - Nigella for fancy impress-people dishes, Nigel for simple weekday dinners.
Vefa is my favourite go-to for delicious summer meals.
We had some beautiful red peppers in our veg box this week, and Vefa's Kitchen has a recipe for peppers stuffed with squid and rice. Sounded like a marriage made in heaven!
While the de-cored peppers roasted lightly in the oven, we made up the risotto stuffing. Lots of garlic, onions, and squid that was sauteed first in some white wine.
There turned out to be a lot more risotto than there was space in the peppers, but hey ho. We just spooned it over the top of the peppers and the whole dish went into the oven for about 20 minutes to bake through.
It was delicious - the peppers were sweet, and the rice and squid filling fragrant and soft inside. Perfect for a late summer supper.
