Cooking
Step 1
First, let's prepare the minced meat. Boil rice in salted water until tender (it is advisable to cook crumbly rice). We mix minced meat - it is advisable to skip it again through a meat grinder.
Step 2
We chop a large onion, fry it a little in a small amount of oil, add to the minced meat.
Step 3
Salt, pepper, add your favorite spices, mix, let stand for 15-20 minutes. Well, our minced meat marinated a little in spices, mix it with rice.
Step 4
Wash bell pepper, cut off the stalk, free from seeds, rinse well, wipe. I took 3 types of red, yellow and green bell peppers
Step 5
We stuff our peppers and lay them tightly to each other. Peppers can be topped with a little salt and spices. For flavor, I added a mint leaf to each pepper. And some water 2 tbsp. spoons (if you are pouring, then you do not need to pour additional liquid, pour the peppers with your favorite sauce, be it tomato or sour cream, to your taste)
Step 6
We cover the peppers tightly with foil and put in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and put it back in the oven until cooked, but 30 minutes. When the dish is ready, we take it out and sprinkle it with herbs, you can squeeze out a few cloves of garlic, let it soak in the smells for about 5 minutes and start laying our pepper on plates.
