👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish.
2
Prepare the peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Set the tops aside.
3
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
4
Add the minced meat to the skillet and cook, breaking it up, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
5
Stir in the diced tomato, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, and paprika. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
6
Add the uncooked rice to the meat mixture and stir to combine. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then cover the skillet and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
7
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in half of the grated cheese and the chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8
Stuff each bell pepper with the meat and rice mixture, packing it well. Place the stuffed peppers upright in the prepared baking dish.
9
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of each pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Place the reserved pepper tops on each pepper.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
11
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, perhaps with extra sauce or a side of rice or roasted potatoes.
