Method

  1. Prepare the peppers

    Wash the peppers, cut off the tops and carefully remove the seeds and some of the inner membranes.

    10 min
  2. Make the filling

    Fry the onion in the oil until soft and translucent, then mix it with the minced meats, the raw rice, garlic, egg, parsley, sweet paprika, salt and pepper.

    8 min
  3. Stuff the peppers

    Fill the peppers with the mixture, but do not pack them tightly, as the rice will still swell. Stand them snugly in a high-sided pan.

    5 min
  4. Pour the sauce

    Mix the tomato purée with the water and pour it around the peppers so that most of them are covered.

    2 min
  5. Simmer

    Cover and simmer over a medium heat on a low setting until the peppers are soft, the rice is cooked and the meat is cooked through.

    50 min
  6. Serve

    Before serving, taste the sauce and adjust the salt, then spoon the sour cream over the peppers and finish with a sprinkle of parsley.
