Hello.
I haven't been able to post for a few days because I'm away from my home. I miss it so much when I'm not here. I just entered the house, changed my clothes, and immediately went to the kitchen for dinner. I made a recipe that I love very much, both to tell you and to eat.
I love stuffed foods. Although my preference is stuffed grape leaves, I also like stuffed peppers. I prefer it in the summer months as it is light in content. It seems like it's hard to make, but believe me, it's very easy and fun.
Materials needed
Half a kilo of Bell Pepper
(Chubby Pepper)
1 Cup of Rice
(120ml cup size)
2 Tablespoons of Tomato Paste
(To be added to 1 Spoon into 1 Spoon of Water)
Parsley
(Use plenty, it's very good)
3 Pieces Tomatoes
1 onion
Dried Mint
(The fresh one was not available at home. If available, use fresh)
Salt
For the stuffing, I first cut the onion into small pieces. (control your eyes here, you can cry a lot like me :) )
I put the onions in a bowl and then cut the parsley into small pieces. One of the things I dislike is chopping parsley. I never cut it into tiny pieces. Unfortunately, there are some parts that I missed. Unfortunately, I can understand it while eating. It's okay to be big, of course, but making it small makes it easier to eat. :)
Now it's time to chop the tomatoes. I peeled the tomatoes before chopping them. While peeling, I cut the top parts of the round thinly. I set it aside as I'm going to use it as a cover. I cut all the tomatoes into cubes.
Then I added the washed rice.
I added the spices. If you have fresh mint, it will be more delicious if you chop and add fresh mint.
There is no stuffing without olive oil. I added Organic Olive Oil. I added an estimated 3 tablespoons of oil.
I added a spoonful of our tomato paste to the inner mixture. We will use the rest for the water part.
I added a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to it because I like it hot. If you don't like it, you don't have to add it.
We mix all the ingredients we add. Our inner mortar is ready to use.
I hollowed out the tops of the peppers that I washed thoroughly. It will be more practical if you use an apple core peeler while doing this. I carved with a knife. Do not throw away the tops of the pepper. We will use it as a cover.
I stuffed our stuffing into the pepper we carved. Rice swells when cooked, so you have to be careful not to fill it to the brim. Do not press too hard when filling. I usually hit the counter after stuffing the butt of the pepper. Rice sinks to the bottom and fills empty spaces. If we do it with a spoon, it will become too jammed and too much mush. Let's use the stem part we cut as a cover.
Sometimes, when cutting the head of the peppers, it can break apart. In this case, tomatoes come to my rescue. I use the part I cut from the stem of the tomato as a cover.
Sometimes the peppers are running out and the internal grout may still be there. In this case, potatoes come to our rescue. You can hollow out the inside of the potatoes and fill them with mortar. It is also very tasty with potatoes. I used the remaining mortar by carving the potatoes. Of course, it was difficult to do with a knife. I had to because there was no reamer tool.
I put the peppers in the pot. Since my father did not have a large pot, I had to use two small pots. So I put the potatoes in the other pot.
I did not wash the container in which I prepared the stuffing. I added water to it and a spoonful of tomato paste that I had reserved. I also dissolved the hair in water.
I slowly added the water I prepared to the pot with the help of a ladle. While adding the water, I took care not to get into the stuffing. I kept adding water until I was halfway through the peppers. The water will become very active as it boils, so add half of the water. While cooking, you renew as the water runs out.
Then I poured some more olive oil on the peppers. I probably added 1-2 tablespoons.
I set the bottom of the stove to the lowest setting and closed the lid of the pot. It will cook slowly at low heat. It is necessary to check from time to time so that the water does not overflow. When the water starts to boil, I leave the lid slightly ajar. So it doesn't overflow.
The peppers were not enough in the second pot. I also cut potatoes in it. Thus, they would have compressed the peppers and would not fall. If I had a carving tool, I would have carved and filled them, but believe me, I had no time.
Finally the stuffed peppers are ready!
ENYOJ!
I hope you like this delicious recipe of mine.
