Here’s a recipe for our favorite homemade stuffed peppers:
- Preparing the Filling:
- Start by partially cooking the rice. Once it cools down, mix it with ground meat and season it to your liking.
- Stuffing the Peppers:
- Carefully fill the peppers with the rice and meat mixture (don’t fill them all the way to the top) and place them in a greased baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes. As they cook, the peppers will release a good amount of their own juices.
- Making the Sauce:
- For the sauce, finely chop some onions and sauté them until translucent. Add tomato sauce, water, white wine, salt, sugar to taste, and a pinch of cloves. The cloves add a special touch, but use them sparingly so they don’t overpower the flavor.
- There should be plenty of sauce to pour over the peppers, as it will thicken in the oven, so make sure you have enough. After pouring the sauce over the stuffed peppers, bake for another 20 minutes.
Enjoy your delicious stuffed peppers!
