- Combine the millet, water and vegetable stock in a saucepan, and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
- Slice the tops off of the peppers, and remove the seeds and cores. Set aside. When the millet is done, stir in the tomatoes and black beans. Spoon into the peppers until filled. Place the peppers into a glass baking dish, and cover with cling film.
- Cook in the microwave for 10 minutes, or until peppers are tender. Turn peppers every 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Note:
Black turtle beans, or simply 'black beans' for short, are especially common in Latin American cuisine. High in fibre and packed with nutrients, they're a healthy addition to any dish. If you can't find tinned black beans, use dried. Tinned pinto beans or kidney beans would also work in this dish.
