MAKING THE SUTFFING:.
-
2
Heat the oil in a medium pan with a lid and fry the pine nuts or cashews until lightly toasted, then add the rice and fry until the grains are glossy.
-
3
Stir in the garlic, then add the stock and bring to the boil.
-
4
Cover and cook for 10 minutes, until the rice is tender.
-
5
Remove from the heat, cool slightly and stir in the spring onions, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, gorgonzola and fresh herbs.
-
6
Season well and leave to cool.
-
7
Stuff the peppers: cut around the stalk from one pepper, remove and set aside.
-
8
Make one slit down the length of the pepper and open out gently.
-
9
Remove the seeds and membrane.
-
10
Spoon some filling into the pepper cavity, taking care not to overfill.
-
11
Take about a metre length of kitchen string and wrap the centre point several times around the pepper stalk, tying it firmly.
-
12
Top with the stalk and wrap the ends of the string several times around the pepper to secure the filling.
-
13
Tie the ends in a knot.
-
14
Repeat with the other peppers.
-
15
Barbecue the stuffed peppers over moderate heat for 15-20 minutes, turning gently until the peppers are evenly browned.

Don't worry if the string chars and if the peppers split too much - wrap them in a piece of foil and finish cooking in the foil wrappers.
