Stuffed Bell Peppers with Beef in Pesto Sauce

Every one of us undergoes heartbreak, whatever is the source of that heartbreak, it is truly like stabbing you in the heart. I recently broke up with someone, and of course as a human being, I had undergone series of dramatic episodes. Episodes which I won’t elaborate since this is a food blog, not a love advice column. In every heartbreak, we do some things that might be deemed conventional or unconventional in the eye of the public. Some people eat their heart out thinking they can drown their sorrows with food, I won’t do that, I don’t want to gain another weight, instead I just cooked. Together with cooking, I sang, I cried, I write, dancing would be nice but I’m not yet ready with dancing, especially what I’m listening to most of the time were sad or inspirational songs, interpretative dance might work, but it will just look silly (I’m imagining my uncle and auntie will caught me doing an interpretative dance of ‘Someone like you’ lol). Anyway, what I cooked was something easy yet looks pretty in the eyes. I saw this in one of the cooking show in BBC, though I actually didn’t follow the whole recipe because I forgot it already, so again, I improvised. It is a wonderful comfort food, so if you’re on a drama mode and feels like indulging on a delightful dish, you may want to try this. It has a blend of sweetness of the bell pepper, juiciness from the meat and the splendid aromatic flavour of pesto. Then again, please don’t drown your sorrows with food, do something recreational, it’s alright to cry. But for now, try cooking this dish and enjoy.

Ingredients:

3 Bell Peppers

1 Kilo of Beef

Pesto Sauce

Direction:

On a pan, sautee the onion then the tomatoes, add the beef but don't let the beef cook, for it will be later put in the oven to further cook it with the bell pepper. Add the pesto sauce on the beef, add salt and pepper to adjust the flavour. Stuff the bell pepper with the meat, srinkle it with EVOO, put it in a preheated oven and cook it for 45 minutes on 170 C.
