Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Slice capsicums in half lengthways and remove stems and seeds. • Place capsicums on a lined oven tray. Brush capsicums with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange cut-side up and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato and pickled jalapenos (if using). • Finely chop garlic. Grate carrot. • Drain and rinse black beans. • In a medium bowl, combine tomato and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season.
• When capsicums have 5 minutes remaining, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook carrot and plant-based bacon bits, tossing, until browned 3-4 minutes. • Add black beans, Tex-Mex spice blend, tomato paste and garlic and cook, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in the water (for the veggies), brown sugar, 1/2 the butter and 1/2 the vegetable stock pot, cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• Remove tray from oven and spoon filling into capsicum. • Sprinkle over shredded Cheddar cheese and bake, until cheese is golden, 5-7 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the water (for the couscous) and remaining vegetable stock pot. • Add couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from heat. • Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with fork. • SPICY! The pickled jalapenos are hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat. Stir through pickled jalapenos and remaining butter.
• Divide jalapeno couscous and cheesy Mexican stuffed capsicums between plates. • Top with zingy tomato and sour cream. Enjoy!
