Baked stuffed capsicum.. the risotto stuffing is so creamy and cheesy.. the capsicum has a nice crunch in every bite.. this is best as a starter.. serve it just when out of the oven..
The risotto stuffing was nice and can be had stand alone, but the recipe by itself was very bland
This recipe I made for a party and it was a super hit ! My guest really enjoyed it...the Rissoto rice stuffing is mouth watering !
