Ingredients:
6 large peppers (red and green)
300 g ground beef
1 cup Carolina rice (Agros tis Pindou
2 large tomatoes, grated
1 small zucchini, diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup olive oil
1 tbsp Simply Greek for Wise Greece paste – with tomato, anthotyro cheese, and thyme
1 tsp dried mint or fresh parsley
1 tsp sweet paprika
Salt & pepper
1 cup hot water
Instructions:
Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds. In a pan, sauté the onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook until it browns. Stir in the tomato paste, grated tomato, rice, zucchini, herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Stuff the peppers with the mixture and place them in a baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and pour in the hot water. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 50–60 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
Serve with feta cheese and fresh bread!
Tip: For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with mushrooms or lentils!
