- 500 g Ground beef or lamb(A mix of beef and lamb can add extra flavor)
- 2 medium Onion(finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 1 cup Rice(Rinsed and drained; medium-grain or short-grain recommended)
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley(finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp Fresh mint(optional, finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Paprika(sweet or smoked)
- 1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper(freshly ground, or to taste)
- 1 cup Water or beef broth(for the baking dish)
👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash the bell peppers. Cut off the tops and reserve them. Remove the seeds and white membranes from the inside of the peppers, creating hollow vessels.
💡 專業提示: You can also scoop out the seeds and membranes with a spoon. - 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add the ground meat to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
💡 專業提示: Ensure the meat is fully browned for best flavor. - 4
Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- 5
Add the rinsed rice, chopped parsley, and optional mint to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Add about 1/2 cup of water or broth to the mixture and stir. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
💡 專業提示: The filling should not be too dry; adjust with a little more liquid if needed. - 6
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, carefully stuff each prepared bell pepper with the meat and rice mixture, packing it in gently.
💡 專業提示: Don't overstuff, as the rice will expand during cooking. - 7
Arrange the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Place the reserved pepper tops back on to act as lids.
💡 專業提示: If you have any leftover filling, you can place it around the peppers in the dish. - 8
Pour the remaining water or broth into the bottom of the baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
💡 專業提示: The liquid will create steam, helping the peppers and rice cook evenly. - 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and slightly golden on top.
💡 專業提示: Baking time may vary depending on the size of the peppers. - 10
Let the stuffed peppers rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
💡 專業提示: Serve hot with a side salad for a complete meal.
