Stuffed Red Peppers
On the scale for Bulgarian soulful home cooking this will be one of the top choices. The sweetness of the baked red peppers is well balanced with the aromatic stuffing.
5-7 Servings
½ lbs ground beef
½ lbs ground pork
1 medium size onion, minced
1 carrot, finely shredded on stainless steel box grater
½ tomato puree
1 cup rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
½ tablespoon fresh oregano
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Red peppers – 5-7*
Salt to taste
* If you are using the long red pepper you will need 7, if using bell peppers then you might need only 5. When you buy them choose the smaller ones. They are easier to cook and make better individual portions.
