Stuffed peppers with minced beef (also often prepared with pork, chicken, lamb) are a wonderful food and a favorite of people from all over the world.
They are suitable for a abundant lunch or dinner. You may want to serve them with a garnish of green salad and crispy homemade bread. With the classic combination of minced beef (pork), rice, vegetables and sauce on top, they are quite nutritious.
Beef (pork) should be as lean as possible (at least 90/10), otherwise it can make the stuffing too greasy when the peppers are baked in the oven.
With this in mind, you can prepare a filling to your liking by replacing the beef (pork) with leaner options, such as minced turkey or chicken.
When choosing peppers, look for ones that are large, healthy and in good shape. Sometimes peppers can vary in size, but you are looking for ones, that will fit the filling.
For 4 pcs. of red peppers put 100 g of pearl rice. Add 200 g of minced meat, carrot, small onion, dill, parsley, a pinch of cumin, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp. of oil (olive oil) and as much salt, black pepper and paprika as you like.
You can make a sauce to pour over the stuffed peppers from an egg, lemon, 1 tbsp. of flour, 1 tbsp. of oil, 200 ml vegetable broth, as much salt and black pepper as you like, in order to prepare really appetizing stuffed peppers with rice or lean stuffed peppers.
