ingredients
- 4 -5 bell peppers
- 4 -5 jalapeno peppers
- 1 -2 lb ground meat
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (preferably fresh, but dry is good as well)
- 2 eggs
- 2 -3 fresh garlic cloves (I prefer fresh, but powdered or salt is fine as well, up to your preference)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper (I use peppercorns in my grinder, nothing like your own grounded fresh peppercorns!)
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika (you can use regular paprika, but I prefer the smoked variety)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for some more heat)
- 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
directions
- Hollow out your bell and jalapeno peppers, I dont like the hot spice from jalapeno so I discard the membranes and seeds.
- Mix together the ground meat, rice, onion, parsley, paprika, red pepper flakes, eggs, garlic, salt, ground pepper.
- Once that is mixed well, stuff into your bell and jalapeno peppers.
- In a large pot mix together your tomato sauce and diced tomatoes and let them simmer.
- Preheat oven to 350 - 400 degrees.
- Once the tomato mixture has simmered about 5 - 10 minutes, it doesnt need to be boiling , just warm to hot temperature.
- Now arrange your peppers so they sit upright,make sure your peppers fit in the pan, if its too large the peppers will fall over and not cook evenly.
- Pour your tomato mixture into the pan , and ladle some sauce on top your peppers.
- Place in the oven and cook for 60 minutes, in 15 minute intervals, take out of the oven and baste the peppers.
- Hope you all enjoy this recipe, this is one of my favorite dishes in the world, but i like a bit of heat, hence the jalapenos and red pepper flakes. Feel free to follow Me here and on Facebook!
