Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Prep aromatics

Heat oven to 425°F. Prep while waiting:
Peel shallots and dice.
Peel carrots and finely dice.

Cook aromatics

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in sauté pan until shimmering. Add carrots, shallots and a couple pinches of salt to pan. Sauté until carrots are soft and shallots are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile:
Peel garlic and mince.
Pick leaves off thyme and roughly chop.
Zest lemon.
Cut just the top off bell peppers and scoop out seeds. Coat with a drizzle of oil and sprinkle of salt.

Stuff, bake peppers

Stir garlic, thyme and lemon zest into pan with carrots and shallots and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Take off heat, season to taste with salt and ground pepper and let cool slightly. Then stir in ¾ cup of ground almonds — reserving the rest for salad — eggs and juice of half the lemon and mix well. Place peppers in a baking dish and divide stuffing evenly between both peppers. Place stuffed peppers and tops in oven and bake until peppers are soft, darker in color and slightly blistered, 20 to 25 minutes.

Make salad

Toss baby kale with remaining almonds, juice of remaining half of lemon, 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste.

Plate, serve

Place each pepper individually on two separate plates and serve alongside kale salad.
