Filling without cooking
Open the Lotao Veggie Lentil Dal and Veggie Bolognese Sauce —both are ready-to-eat and don't require any additional heating. Simply pour them directly into the prepared peppers. You can use them individually or combine them creatively.
Baking & Serving
Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and bake them at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 15-20 minutes until they are slightly soft.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley to serve – this adds a fresh touch and a lovely color contrast.
