Ingredients
- 1 red pepper
- 25g feta cheese
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- ½ a small tomato, chopped
- 5cm piece of cucumber, diced
- Seeds from half a pomegranate

Method
Cut the red pepper in half and remove the seeds. Brush the skin of the pepper with olive oil and place it on foil with the skin side up. Grill the pepper for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile chop the feta cheese, spring onion, tomato and cucumber and mix them in a bowl. Cut a pomegranate in half and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Mix the seeds into the mixture, squeeze over the lemon juice, add salt, pepper and garlic powder and mix again.
Remove the pepper from the grill, and fill them with spoonfuls of the feta cheese mixture; season with extra salt and pepper.

Serve instantly and enjoy with chicken or kebabs and rice. Enjoy!
Well, Kanta’s cracked it! The first healthy idea posted! Well done. This one is very good, uncooked veg for max. Nutrition.
Feta is pretty cheap. Don’t know if available in Zambia of good quality.
I would skip grilling the peppers for max nutrition.
