Instructions
- First, finely chop the onion in a pan with heated oil and fry for a few minutes. Add the meat and spices, salt, black pepper, and parsley, and fry for ten minutes. Add the rice and fry for a few more minutes. With that, the mixture for filling the peppers is ready.
- Chop the peppers in the upper part of the stalk, so that the removed part will serve to match the stuffed peppers. Clean them well, fill them with the meat mixture, cover them with the part of the pepper that has a stalk and close them nicely with the help of one or two toothpicks so that they do not move during cooking.
- Arrange the peppers in a deep saucepan, in a vertical position. Add the boiling water and cook the stuffed peppers on low heat for about 1 hour. Before removing them from the hob, make a mixture of tomato puree, red pepper and oil and sprinkle the peppers. Let them boil for another ten minutes.
