Peppers are a really good source of dietary fibre and are packed with a variety of health-giving nutrients such as vitamin K, potassium, manganese, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, B vitamins and folate. The basil in the pesto will give a nice boost of calcium, iron and magnesium. Serving this meal with a complex carbohydrate like wholemeal rice means that you will stay fuller for longer.
