  1. Remove the tops of the peppers and set aside (these will be used as lids for the lanterns). Remove the seeds and centres of the peppers. Using a sharp knife, carefully carve face shapes into the peppers.
  2. Make up some beef bolognese, or heat up leftover bolognese, add more vegetables into the mixture and the cooked rice.
  3. Carefully spoon the mixture into the peppers, adding some cheese in the middle. Finish with more cheese and pop the top (lid) back on the pepper.
  4. Place in the oven at 180°C / 160°C fan / Gas 5 for approximately 25 minutes until the filling is piping hot.
