The following is less of a recipe than a starting point for your imagination. Tomatoes that are big and firm in texture are ideal. Peppers of any colour, including green and red, work well in this dish. You may either fill them, or cut them up with the onions and beef mince. Add some cheese on top for a less nutritious but more indulgent option. Making the dish for a larger group won’t be a problem either.
