Rinse the oats under cold water using a strainer and place them in a small bowl. Cover the oats with cold water, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for about 12 hours, preferably overnight.
Clean the bell peppers carefully without breaking them. Cut a hole where the stem is, remove the seeds, and rinse the peppers inside and out. Chop the piece you removed from the top into small pieces, leaving the rest of the pepper intact to serve as a small container.
Wash the apples, peel them, remove the cores, and cut them into small cubes. Chop the hazelnuts or walnuts.
In a mixing bowl, beat the ricotta cheese together with the honey, lemon juice, curry powder, and enough skim milk to create a creamy paste.
Add the soaked oats, apple cubes, and chopped nuts to the ricotta mixture.
Fill the hollowed-out peppers with this mixture and garnish with the chopped pieces of pepper.

For a more intense flavor, lightly toast the nuts before chopping them.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, add an extra drizzle of honey to the ricotta mixture.

Can I use a different type of nut?

Can I skip the curry powder?

Can I make this recipe vegan?
