French · Main course · 65 min total

A classic French dish of bell peppers stuffed with a savory mixture of ground meat, rice, and herbs, baked until tender.

Ingredients

• 4 large bell peppers (any color)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 500 g ground beef or pork
• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 can (400 g) diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup grated Gruyère or Emmental cheese
• 1/2 cup beef or chicken broth

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Cut tops off peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Blanch peppers in boiling water for 3 minutes; drain.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
3. Add ground meat and cook until browned. Stir in rice, diced tomatoes, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook 2 minutes.
4. Stuff each pepper with the meat mixture. Place peppers upright in a baking dish. Sprinkle cheese on top.
5. Pour broth into the dish around the peppers. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, until peppers are tender and cheese is golden. Serve hot.

Tips

• For a vegetarian version, substitute meat with cooked lentils or mushrooms.
• Serve with a green salad or crusty bread.
