Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/convection oven. Cut the lids off the washed peppers and remove the seeds and inner skins. Mix the minced meat with the crushed garlic, a little grated cheese, and the spices, and stuff the peppers into the pan. Replace the lids. Mix the salsa sauce, cream, tomato paste, and broth into a creamy sauce and bring to a boil with the spices. Pour the sauce into a suitable casserole dish and carefully add the peppers. Make a small slit in the bottom of the peppers so that the juices from the minced meat can run into the sauce and don’t collect in the peppers. Place the casserole dish on the middle rack and braise the peppers for about 45 minutes. About halfway through, spread the cheese over the peppers. This is perfectly sufficient as a snack for two people. If you’re really hungry, you can do it alone.
