Method
step 1
Put the bulgar wheat in a bowl and pour over boiling water. Leave for 10 minutes then drain really well.
step 2
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Rub the peppers with a little oil, season then put on a baking tray. Cook for 15 minutes then take out.
step 3
Meanwhile heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan. Break small pieces of sausage into the pan then cook until browned, breaking them up with a spatula as you cook so they are like chunky mince. Add the garlic and cook for a minute then add the spices and cook for another minute. Tip in the tomatoes and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir the parsley in with the bulgar wheat.
step 4
Fill the peppers with the sausage mix. Sprinkle over the parmesan then bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve with a green salad.
