👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   Prepare the peppers: Wash the peppers, cut off the tops, and carefully remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.

   💡 전문가 팁: Try to keep the pepper tops intact to use as lids if desired.
2. 2

   Cook the rice: Cook the rice according to package directions, but undercook it slightly (al dente), as it will continue to cook inside the peppers. Drain and set aside.

   💡 전문가 팁: Undercooking the rice prevents it from becoming mushy.
3. 3

   Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, undercooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, chopped parsley, paprika, Vegeta, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

   💡 전문가 팁: Mixing by hand ensures all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
4. 4

   Stuff the peppers: Carefully fill each pepper with the meat and rice mixture, packing it in gently but not too tightly. Leave a little room at the top as the rice will expand.

   💡 전문가 팁: Don't overstuff the peppers, as the filling will expand during cooking.
5. 5

   Prepare the sauce: In a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce (or crushed tomatoes) and water (or broth). Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

   💡 전문가 팁: A good tomato sauce forms the flavorful base for the stuffed peppers.
6. 6

   Arrange the stuffed peppers in the pot, standing them upright. If using the pepper tops, place them back on top of the peppers.

   💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the peppers fit snugly in the pot to prevent them from falling over.
7. 7

   Cover the pot and simmer on the stovetop over low heat for about 1 hour, or bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 1.5 hours, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through.

   💡 전문가 팁: Baking generally yields a more even cooking and richer flavor.
8. 8

   Let the stuffed peppers rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot, with the sauce spooned over.

   💡 전문가 팁: This dish is excellent served with a side of mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
