- 20 Aug 2017 9:00 AM
What can you see on this picture? Do you have any idea? This is the Hungarian Stuffed Green Pepper the 'Töltött paprika'. Recipe is originated from the Serbian culture (like lecsó).
Ingredients:
8 green peppers (sweet or slightly hot),
1/2 kilo ground meat (beef or pork or turkey),
1/2 cup of white rice,
1 egg
1 small onion
1 canned tomato sauce
salt, pepper, sugar and paprika (to taste)
oil and flour for the roux
1. Cut the top of the green peppers and remove the seeds and stems. Set aside.
2. Heat the oil (or lard) in a large pot over medium-high flame. Add thinly slice onions and sauté until translucent and starting to brown. Cook the white rice until half soft. Mix the meat with half cooked rice and egg, and the chopped onion. Add salt, pepper and paprika (of you like garlic, you may add two cloves of pressed garlic too)
3. Stuff each pepper with an equal amount of meat mixture, then place staffed peppers in large pot of boiling water. Cover pot and cook until ground meat is fully cooked and rice is tender.
4. Prepare a roux from the flour and oil (or lard), pour in the tomato juice, flavor with sugar and salt, then pour over the stuffed green peppers and cook about five or ten minutes.
5. Serve peppers with sauce spooned over top and with salt cooked potato.
