Method

Peel tomatoes, score a cross on the bottom of each one and remove the core carefully with a sharp knife. Blanch in boiling water for ten seconds and remove directly into ice water to shock the skin, then peel and set aside. Next, cut the peppers into halves and remove the seeds and any of the white pith. Mix garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper together to make a paste and place a little inside each pepper. Take the tomatoes, cut in half lengthways and insert into each pepper. Lay dressed peppers onto a parchment lined baking tray and bake for 20-30 mins at 370ºF until the peppers and tomatoes are cooked. Enjoy!
