Ingredients
- Large red or green bell peppers, cut on top and seeded
- 1 pack of rice
- Water
- Plus extra ingredients of your choice
How to prepare this recipe: First you prepare a mixture with the rice, and you can add anything you like with the rice.(I prepare it with minced meat, but it can be also prepared with cuts of onion)
Once you have mixed the mixture in, you can stir fry it in a frying pan for approximately 3 minutes. Than you can get your peppers and cut the top off. Create a hole. Than you can take your mixture and stuff it in the peppers. Once you’ve done that, you have to put the stuffed peppers in an oven palette and add water.
The story behind this recipe, Stuffed peppers is likely to be known as the food of macedonian culture. This is a very old tradicional macedonian specialty, which I learned from my grandma. I always loved cooking, so couple of years ago, I learned how to prepare this recipe. I must tell that It is simple to prepare, but very delicious. It has a taste of a mixture of meat and vegetable, filled with warmth.
