Step 2

Wash peppers and cut each one in half from stem to end. Carefully remove the seeds and any membrane. Using a small paring knife can help cut away the tougher bits near the stem. Arrange peppers on a parchment lined sheet. Place the peppers in the oven while you make the filling to pre-cook slightly before stuffing.
