Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers (top removed, hollowed out)
- 1 pound ground sirloin (or lamb)
- ½ cup long grain, enriched, par-boiled white rice (uncooked )
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 6 cloves garlic (grated and divided )
- 20 ounces tomato juice (or tomato paste mixed with water)
- 2 tablespoons dried mint
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- Lebanese Laban Cucumber Yogurt Sauce (to serve)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together ground sirloin, uncooked white rice, salt, pepper, and 3 of the grated garlic cloves. Stuff peppers equally with 1/4 of the mixture then place peppers in the bottom of a deep pot.
- In a large bowl, whisk together tomato juice, dried mint, lemon juice, and remaining 3 cloves of grated garlic. Pour mixture over the peppers, making sure that the peppers are covered with the liquid. (Add more tomato juice if needed.)
- Bring pot to a boil on high heat then reduce to low and cover with lid. Cook on low for 45 minutes or until peppers are tender and rice and meat is cooked through. Serve with Lebanese Laban Cucumber Yogurt Sauce.
