Mary Berry's baked stuffed peppers with salad dressing recipe
Mary Berry’s sweet tooth and delicious desserts are legendary – but there’s more to the so-called Queen of Baking than puddings. She even has own range of dressings and sauces, launched with her daughter, Annabel, and has created a series of simple, savoury recipes to complement them.
These stuffed peppers, for example, are finished with a creamy dressing, bringing all of the ingredients together beautifully. The dish can be served as a light main or a substantial side, and is perfect served at barbecues or picnics (the peppers are still delicious when eaten cold).
Tip: For an extra burst of flavour, substitute the plain basmati rice for a flavoured alternative, such as coconut rice.
