Stuffed capsicum/bell pepper

Most of my experiments are necessitated by failed market trips. The other day I found myself staring at two capsicums, few potatoes and carrots not knowing what to do. So I started looking for a recipe for stuffed capsicum on the net. There were quite a few options but that again required me to venture out. So I decided to carry on with the available resources...the result was actually quite tasty so here it goes in the diary :)

Ingredients:
Bell pepper/Capsicum - 2 medium sized
Potato - 2 medium sized
Carrot - 2 medium sized
Raisin / kishmish - a handful
Cheese spread - 1 table spoon
Poppy seeds / posto / khus-khus - 2 table spoon
Butter - 1 tea spoon
Salt to taste


To prepare:
Peel and boil potatoes and carrots. Cool and mesh together. Add cheese spread and salt and mix well.
Halve the capsicum and remove seeds. Place on a dish, sprinkle a spoon of water and microwave on high for two minutes. Let it cool a bit.
Stuff the capsicums with the potato-carrot mix, puncture with raisins.
Spread the posto on a plate and press the stuffed capsicums head down so that it has a small layer of posto on top. Let it set for a minute.
Place the butter in a dish and microwave on medium for half a minute. Spread melted butter evenly on the dish. Slightly smear the stuffed capsicums with little bit of the melted butter.
Place the stuffed capsicums in the dish and microwave for about 3 mins on medium heat.
Stuffed capsicums are ready to eat!
