Stuffed Peppers With A Savoury Cashew Sauce

There is a false boldness for Christ that only comes from pride. A man may rashly expose himself to the world's dislike and even deliberately provoke its displeasure, and yet do so out of pride… True boldness for Christ transcends all; it is indifferent to the displeasure of either friends or foes. Boldness enables Christians to forsake all rather than Christ, and to prefer to offend all rather than to offend Him.

INSTRUCTIONS

Pre-heat the oven to 200Ã¸C/400Ã¸F/Gas Mark 6. Cut-the tops off the
peppers and save. Remove the seeds. Simmer the pepper bases for 5
minutes to soften, then drain and refresh in cold water. Use 1tbsp of
olive oil to oil an ovenproof dish and brush the pepper bases and
tops. Heat the remaining oil in a medium saucepan. Saut the onion and
garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the rice and stir for 1
minute to coat with oil. Add the water or stock to the saffron or
turmeric and lemon juice, cover, bring to the boil, and simmer,
covered, for 20 minutes until the rice is tender. Remove from the
heat. Add the peas, tomatoes, olives and basil leaves. Stir to  combine
all the ingredients and season to taste. Spoon the mixture  into the
pepper bases and cover with the tops. Bake for 15-20  minutes, until
the tops of the peppers are tender and golden. For the  sauce, saut the
onion in the olive oil until soft. Meanwhile  liquidise the ground
cashew nuts, stock cube and water in a blender.  Add the contents of
the liquidiser to the onions and heat gently for  2-3 minutes stirring
all the time. Return the mixture to the blender  and liquidise until
smooth. Re-heat the sauce gently, adding more  water if a thinner
consistency is desired. Serve the stuffed-peppers  and cashew sauce
with an Italian tomato salad and garlic bread.  Converted by MC_Buster.
