👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, rinsed rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, seven spices, cumin, 1 tsp salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Using a mix of lamb and beef can add depth of flavor. - 2
Stuff the prepared bell peppers with the meat and rice mixture, filling them about three-quarters full to allow the rice to expand.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Don't pack the filling too tightly, as the rice needs room to cook. - 3
Prepare the broth: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp of ghee or olive oil over medium heat. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add 3 cups of water, tamarind paste (if using), dried mint, and the remaining 0.5 tsp salt. Bring the broth to a simmer.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Tamarind paste adds a characteristic Syrian tanginess; omit if unavailable or prefer a milder flavor. - 5
Carefully arrange the stuffed peppers upright in the pot, ensuring they are snug but not overcrowded. Add the remaining 1 tbsp ghee or olive oil.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: If the peppers don't stand upright on their own, you can lean them against each other or use toothpicks to secure them. - 6
Cover the pot and simmer gently for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the peppers are tender and the rice is fully cooked.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Check periodically and add a little more water if the broth reduces too much. - 7
Serve the stuffed peppers hot, spooning some of the flavorful broth over each serving.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: These are delicious served with a side of plain yogurt or a fresh salad.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
- ✓Choose peppers with four lobes on the bottom, as they tend to be firmer and stand up better.
- ✓You can make the filling a day in advance.
- ✓For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and increase the rice, or use lentils and finely chopped vegetables.
