First, fry the minced lamb to loose grains. Then mix it with köfte spices. Mix the seasoned minced meat with lightly browned onion and garlic brunoise, toasted pine nuts, grated feta cheese, chopped parsley, soaked sultanas, tomato puree, pepper and salt. Leave to simmer for 15 minutes until all the flavours are well mixed. Cut off the caps of the peppers, remove the stalks but do not throw away the crowns. Remove the seeds. Fill the empty peppers with the prepared minced meat and cover with a thick layer of grated Gruyère.

Put the crowns back on top of the peppers and put them in a preheated oven at 185°C for 25 minutes on 'hot air'. Then a couple of minutes under the oven grill and that's it! Serve with Greek pasta and a passata sauce seasoned with cumin and red balsamic vinegar.
