step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Pop the parmentier potatoes (1 pack) into the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
step 2
Meanwhile, halve the peppers (4) lengthways, removing the seeds but keeping the stem intact. Pop onto a lined baking tray and bake for 15 minutes, until softened.
step 3
Meanwhile, heat a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add in a glug of olive oil followed by the soffrito mix (100 g). Cook for 3 minutes until soft, then add in the drained tuna (2 tins), chilli pesto (2 tbsp) and cherry tomatoes (1 tin). Simmer together for 7 minutes until thickened.
step 4
Stir in the capers (2 tbsp) (if using) and season to taste with salt and pepper, then spoon the mixture into the softened peppers.
step 5
Carefully place the stuffed peppers on top of the potatoes. Top with the mozzarella (1 pack) and return to the oven for 15 minutes, until the peppers and potatoes are super tender and golden.
