Pepper stuffed with beef, spinach, tomatoes, onions, herbs and a little rice.
Avocado bon bons with some beef at the centre.
Basil sauce (not pictured)
Would I do it again?
Peppers needed something more spicy in them.
Bon bons were good, but I shouldn't prepare them in advance and should do them as I need them, so they don't get stuck together, hence not much of the pale green showing.

Take one Waitrose Roasted Mushroom Risotto ready meal (sorry), add in 3 rashers of grilled thick cut smoked bacon, sliced into squares and mixed in, then a thin layer of grated cheese on top, melted off under the still hot grill, with a little ground black pepper on the top.
Nice.
This looks like a great idea. Definitely going to give this a try!Nice.

We had an unexpected treat tonight.
This was Lidl's "De Luxe" frozen duck.
My God, it was bloody delicious. The stuffing was very good, if a bit under seasoned. The meat was very tender - I wondered if they had added something (chemical??). I have never had tender duck before. The fruity taste of the stuffing seems to have imparted itself to the meat, in a very pleasant way.
The orange sauce was a complete cheat, but a fantastic success. I only discovered that we didn't have any oranges an hour before the dish was due to be served. My wife made a bog standard Bisto gravy with a knob of butter for texture. After she poured her gravy, I added some orange juice. The resulting sauce was as good as anything that I have ever had in a restaurant.

If you are suggesting that I don't eat out, then here is a photo of the last Michelin starred restaurant that I ate in:-
