Air-Fryer Chorizo & Manchego Stuffed Peppers preparation stage

You’ll Need

4 large red peppers, halved and deseeded
150g cooking chorizo, diced
100g Manchego cheese, grated
1 small red onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Sea salt
Black pepper

Optional but Dangerous
Extra Manchego
Crusty bread
Aioli
Cold Rioja

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.

Heat the olive oil and mix with the diced chorizo, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Stir through three-quarters of the grated Manchego.

Spoon the mixture evenly into the pepper halves.

Top with the remaining Manchego.

Place the stuffed peppers into the air fryer basket or a shallow tray.

Air fry at 190°C for 12–15 minutes until the peppers soften and the cheese turns golden and bubbling.

Allow to rest for 1 minute before serving.

Finish with a little extra parsley and serve immediately.

Lad Tip: Manuel says if the cheese hasn't bubbled over the edge slightly, you've been too cautious. Spanish cooking rewards confidence, not restraint.
