A complete meal in a natural bowl — and a family dinner that looks more impressive than it is

Stuffed capsicums are one of those dishes that feel considered and generous without requiring much effort. The capsicums act as both the vessel and a key flavour component — they sweeten as they roast, infusing everything inside with a gentle, caramelised flavour. With a grass-fed beef and rice filling seasoned with herbs and spices, this is a genuinely satisfying, complete meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 large red or yellow capsicums
  • 480g Your Farmer grass-fed beef mince
  • 1 cup cooked rice (about 1/2 cup raw — leftover rice is perfect, or cook it while you prep)
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tin crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 100g feta, crumbled
  • Fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
  • Olive oil, salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup beef stock or water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 190°C.

Slice the tops off the capsicums and remove the seeds and white membrane inside. Keep the tops — you’ll use them as lids.

4 capsicums

Brown the beef mince in a wide pan over high heat. Remove and set aside.

480g beef mince

In the same pan, sauté the onion until soft. Add garlic, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Cook 1 minute.

Spoon the filling into the capsicums, packing firmly. Place in a baking dish. Pour the remaining crushed tomatoes and stock around the base of the capsicums. Replace the lids.

Roast for 35–40 minutes until the capsicums are tender and lightly charred.

Remove the lids. Top each capsicum with crumbled feta and the remaining parsley. Serve immediately.

💡 Choose capsicums that sit flat — a slightly flat base means they won’t tip over in the roasting tin. If yours are round, slice a very thin piece from the base to create a flat surface.

Osso buco-style braised grass-fed lamb chump chops in tomato sauce over soft polenta, topped with gremolata.

Osso Buco-Style Braised Chump Chops with Gremolata

The Milanese treatment — chops braised low in white wine and tomato, lifted at the end by lemony gremolata

Osso buco is Milan's great braise, and the finishing touch is what makes it: gremolata, a raw scatter of lemon zest, garlic and parsley chopped fine, stirred in right at the end. Against an hour and a half of slow, rich braising, that fresh, sharp hit is a revelation — it stops the whole thing feeling heavy and makes you reach for another spoonful. Lamb chump chops stand in beautifully for the traditional veal shin here, their fat and connective tissue melting into a glossy sauce over soft polenta. It takes time, but almost none of it is yours. This is a dish to be proud of.

Split Pea and Lamb Bone Soup

Pea-and-ham thinking, straight from the lamb paddock

Every Australian family has a pea-and-ham soup story, and every one of those soups leans on the same trick: a bone in the pot doing the heavy lifting. This is that trick with lamb bones instead of a hock. The split peas collapse into a thick, velvety base, the bones give the broth real depth and body, and a pinch of smoked paprika stands in for the smokehouse if you want that familiar edge. It's the thriftiest pot in this whole collection — pantry peas, add-on bones, one lazy afternoon — and it eats like a hug.

Grass-fed T-bone steak sliced and served with homemade tarragon bearnaise and chips, bistro style.

T-Bone with Bearnaise from Scratch

The sauce that turns a steak into an occasion

Béarnaise has a reputation as chef's territory — it isn't. It's three egg yolks, a sharp tarragon reduction and a stream of warm butter, whisked over gentle heat until it turns thick, glossy and faintly wobbly. Twenty minutes of honest attention, most of it while the steak rests. And there's no better steak to learn it on than a grass-fed T-bone: the fillet side was born for béarnaise, and the sirloin side isn't far behind. This is occasion cooking you can pull off on an ordinary Saturday.
