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.
