Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine ground lamb (1 lb), chopped parsley (1/4 cup), cumin (1 tsp), smoked paprika (1 tsp), garlic powder (1/2 tsp), onion powder (1/2 tsp), salt (1/2 tsp), and pepper (1/2 tsp). Mix gently until just combined.
Lightly sauté bell pepper halves (4) in butter or tallow (1 Tbsp) over medium heat for 3–4 minutes to soften slightly. Remove from heat.
Stuff each pepper half generously with the lamb kofta mixture.
Place stuffed peppers in a baking dish and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until lamb is cooked through and peppers are tender.
Remove from oven and drizzle extra virgin olive oil (1 Tbsp) over the stuffed peppers before serving.
