Stuffed peppers are a favorite dish of many of us. They can be with rice and minced meat, lean stuffed peppers, with eggs and cheese, stuffed peppers with beans, with quinoa - thanks to the wide variety of recipes for stuffed peppers and ways of preparation, peppers are one very universal vegetable.
Here we will look specifically at peppers with rice and answer the question how much rice do you need for a tray of stuffed peppers.
Peppers with rice, as we said, can be combined with minced meat and without it. To determine the required amount of rice, we will use, for example, 10 peppers, which will weigh a total of 1 kilogram.
Stuffed peppers with minced meat and rice
When we use minced meat, it will be about 400 grams for the whole stuffing, supplemented by 100-150 grams of rice. Of course, in the recipe there are other products important for the dish, such as onions, carrots, tomato puree, garlic and spices - parsley, paprika, black pepper and optionally savory herb.
Most often the recipe is the following: fry the carrots and onions, until they soften, add the washed rice and after it softens add the paprika and then the blended tomatoes. After a few minutes, add finely chopped garlic, minced meat and spices. Once this mixture is ready, fill the peppers with it and bake them.
