Ingredients

Rice
  • ½ cup rice
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp salt
Peppers
  • Cooked rice (from above)
  • 1½ lb (700g) fresh peppers
  • 14oz (400g) ground beef
  • 2 Onions (medium-small)
  • 1 ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)
  • ½ tsp Coriander seed powder
Sauce for Cooking Peppers
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 Onion (medium-small)
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Pre-cook Rice
    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse rice until water runs mostly clear. Transfer to a small saucepan.
  2. Add olive oil and salt, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to lowest setting, cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir once in a while while it cools down.
Peppers
  1. Prep the peppers by cutting out the back end and removing the seeds and insides as much as possible. Rinse with water. Set aside.
  2. Finely dice 2 onions. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the ground beef, rice, salt, ground black pepper, and ground coriander powder. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Stuff the meat and rice mixture into the peppers, making sure not to over-stuff. The rice will still expand during cooking. Layer into a cooking pot. Set aside.
Sauce
  1. Thinly slice onions into thin, but short pieces. Grate the carrots.
  2. Sauté the onions in the carrots in a small skillet with olive oil.
  3. Once tender, transfer into the pot with the peppers, spreading the carrot onion mixture on the top. Add the bay leaf.
  4. Combine hot water with salt and stir until the salt is incorporated.
  5. Gently pour the water over the stuffed peppers and bring to a gentle boil.
  6. Reduce heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes.
  7. Serve hot.
