Bell Peppers Stuffed with Meat
Ingredients (4 or more servings plus leftovers):
7-8 red or yellow peppers (pick smaller ones)
1 lb ground meat (I used dark turkey)
1 minced onion
¾ cup quinoa or rice
small bunch of fresh dill, chopped
small bunch of fresh parsley, chopped
¾ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp sea salt
¾ tsp sweet paprika
1 egg (optional)
3 bay leaves
6-7 tsp tomato paste
sour cream (optional)
Core and seed the peppers. In a bowl, beat the egg and mix in onion, rinsed quinoa, dill, parsley, pepper, salt, and paprika. When everything is mixed well, add in the meat and mix again. Fill the peppers with this mixture and arrange in a pot with the opening facing up. Mix the tomato paste with two cups of hot water and pour over the stuffed peppers. Add the bay leaves and add more hot water to the top of the peppers. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and cook until they are done, about 1 ½ hours. Serve with sour cream. Enjoy!
