Lockdown 2.0. Use it or lose it! Spanish-ish stuffed peppers.

I made this last night, principally because we had a batch of red peppers that were beyond date code and getting to the stage where they had lost their shine and developed a severe case of the wrinkles. It was then a case of using up whatever else we had in the fridge or the larder. By a process of elimination, aided by online search, I ended up with a sort of Spanish/Mexican style dish, so really mozzarella was the wrong cheese but it still worked pretty well. The jar of nduja was just sitting there in the fridge, with a couple of tablespoons left in the bottom, begging to be used up and the flavours worked well together. The verdict was that it was pretty good. We also had a pile of home made oven baked skinny fries, to use up the bag of Maris pipers that were starting to grow in the larder. We coated them in a combo of sweet and spicy Spanish paprika, crushed garlic granules and salt and pepper.  INGREDIENTS 4 small to medium red peppers  1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for the peppers
