Nic I fancy trying this but am being a bit dense with the recipe... Does it mean the peppers are done for 25mins or do you stick the tomatoes in under the peppers after they've been in 5mins? :? :oops:

I do this and it's fine like that. If you like your peppers slightly crunchier you could not do for as long. Nice either way!

ETA: i also stick peppers/tomatoes/ Mushrooms if using/garlic bits all in one tray (saves on washing up!!) :lol: :lol: :lol:
