directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Combine grated onion with beef, rice, egg and 1/4 c raisins. Mix well without compacting the mixture too much.
- Remove the tops from the bell peppers. Remove the seeds and ribs. Fill peppers most of the way with the meat mixture.
- In a large, heavy pot, combine reserved diced onion, remaining raisins, tomato sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Add water to achieve the sauce thickness you like. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Stand the peppers in the sauce, and carefully spoon some sauce over each pepper. Cover the pot and place in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. Baste the peppers every 30 minutes.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
