Irresistible Ground Beef Stuffed Mini Peppers
These Ground Beef Stuffed Mini Peppers is a Turkish-inspired cuisine made with tiny green peppers stuffed with rice, ground beef, onions, etc.
Ingredients
20 pieces red pepper (red capsicum)
½ pound ground beef (minced beef)
⅓ cup brown rice
1 medium yellow onion - finely chopped
¼ cup parsley
1 teaspoon dried mint
1 teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon sugar (white sugar)
1 pinch salt - to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper - to taste
Instructions
- Remove the stems from the top of the peppers with a paring knife and clean the seeds inside. Because the peppers are so small, you can use the tap water to push the seeds out.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together ground beef, rice, onion, parsley, mint and cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill the peppers all the way down with the ground beef mixture. If you have any leftover filling, form them into little meatballs and throw them into the pot with the peppers.
- Place them in a small pot so that the open parts of the peppers come to the top.
- Fill the pot halfway through with water.
- Sprinkle some salt and sugar over the peppers.
- Cover and cook over medium-low heat.
Notes
Test by tasting the rice poking out of the filling. It will be done when the rice is cooked. Serve with rice and yogurt, and enjoy!
PS: If you have leftover peppers, you can throw a quick yogurt dip with dried herbs and have a refreshing snack!
