Stuffed Peppers

Preheat oven to 190 C / Gas 5. Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat, add onion and cook for four minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook one minute.

Slice tops off peppers and remove seeds. Stand peppers upright in a baking dish. In large bowl, combine onion mixture, dill, salt, allspice and pepper. Mix in rice and lamb, fold in feta cheese. Stuff peppers with mixture.

Mix passata with water, lemon juice and sugar. Pour half over peppers, and half over bottom of dish. Cover with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 15 minutes, basting occasionally with sauce, until peppers are soft and delicious.
