Bell Pepper Recipe
Do you want to incorporate more veggies in your diet? Then try this wonderful green bell pepper recipe. This is actually a Turkish version. As you see in the picture, the condiment is plain Greek style yogurt. It is traditionally eaten this way, but by no means do you have to. It is optional. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
Ingredients
*6 Green Bell Peppers *2 T. Tomato Paste *2 Small Tomatoes, Chopped *Salt and Pepper to Taste *1/2 C. Uncooked Rice *1 lb. Ground Beef *3 T. Water- for filling
*Water
Preparation
*Wash and prepare the green bell peppers; slice the top (see picture above); remove seeds *In a bowl, combine the ground beef, uncooked rice, tomatoes, tomato paste, salt and pepper, 3 T. water. *Stuff the green bell peppers. Be careful to not over stuff as it can cause the peppers to burst while cooking. If you have any leftover filling, go ahead and freeze it for next time. *Put the top of the green bell pepper back on, it will look like a little hat. *Place stuffed green bell peppers upright in the pot. Add enough water to fill less than half way. Place them in the pot so they don't tip over while cooking. *Cook until green bell peppers are soft, approximately 35 minutes or so.
