Peppers stuffed with meat and rice - useful tips and tricks
• Want to make a meal healthier? It is not necessary to use white rice; take brown, unpeeled. It is much more useful and at the same time does not harm the figure so much.
• Peppers left over when stuffed with pepper should not be thrown away. They can be cut and added to the sauce. But if the filling is prepared without additional vegetables (creamy, for example), then you can grind it and add it to the minced meat.
• Sour cream and cream sauces will be more beautiful if you add a spoonful of tomato paste or ketchup to them. You can pour a little turmeric, dried paprika.
• The rice itself is dry, so you need to use fatty meat for the minced meat, otherwise the dish will turn out tasteless. If the meat is lean, then you can add butter, fat sour cream to the filling.
• Green pepper has a small bitterness, which is especially noticeable in the finished dish. Therefore, it is better to use ripe vegetables for stuffing.
• Did she have enough pepper? You can stuff tomatoes by choosing the insides from them. Or wrap minced meat in cabbage, grape leaves. Or you can just roll the meatballs and freeze them.
