Biber Dolmasi (Stuffed Peppers and Tomatoes)
Ingredients
(serves 4):
Main
ingredients:
- 6 small cubanelle peppers
(or 4 small Hungarian peppers)
- 2 large tomatoes
- 1 tbsp crushed tomato
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups water
Filling:
- 225 gr. medium ground beef
- 1/4 cup rice, washed
- 4 fresh onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp water
- Salt
- Pepper
Cut off the tops of the peppers and tomatoes using a small
knife, but don't throw them away as you will put them back on
after you put in the filling. Clean out the seeds
inside the peppers. Then spoon out the inside of the tomatoes,
this will be added to the filling.
Mix all the filling ingredients (including the inside of the
tomatoes) with a tablespoon. Stuff the peppers and the tomatoes
with a teaspoon, but don't overdo it. Leave some room at the
top. While filling the peppers, don't push the filling in,
instead tap the peppers vertically on the counter. Then cover
the peppers and tomatoes with the tops you cut off earlier.
Place the peppers sideways at the bottom of a large pot. Then
put the tomatoes on top. This is because the tomatoes cook
faster and thus will fall apart if not placed this way. Now,
pour the rest of the main ingredients over (water, crushed
tomato and olive oil). Cook on medium-high for about 30 minutes
with the lid half covered.
