In Romanian: Ardei Umpluti
Ingredients:
• 10-15 bell peppers
• 1-1.5dl oil
• 2 onions (finely chopped)
• 150g rice
• 1 egg
• 700g mixed ground meat
• salt and pepper
• ground paprika
• chopped tomato/thick tomato sauce
• 3 teaspoons dried parsley
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 190°C.
First prepare the peppers. Using a sharp paring knife carefully cut a lid out of the top of each pepper around the stalk. Trim out any white parts remaining and remove any seeds.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the onions and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes until pale and translucent, but not brown.
Add the rice, mince meat, the egg, salt, herbs and the ground paprika.
Stuff the emptied peppers with the mixture and replace their tops. Place in a baking tray and add the tomato sauce.
Cook them in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until soft and cooked through.
