Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:
1 kg minced meat
1 big onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
10 large peppers - nearly 1 kg
7 Tbsp sunflower oil
1/2 cup rice

300 g tomatoes, grated

1 cup of water/ broth
2 Tbsp freshly ground black
pepper
2 Tbsp ground cumin
Salt to taste

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 180C
Wash peppers, cut upper parts and remove seeds. Reserve tops.
Heat oil in a
large skillet on medium heat until hot and add chopped onion. Saut until tender
and add garlic. Cook for additional 2-3 minutes and stir in the minced meat, cumin
and pepper. Fry mince for 5 minutes until it changes its colour, breaking up any
lumps with a spoon. Add rice to the mixture, saut for 1-2 minutes and add the
grated tomatoes and a cup of water/ broth. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes until rice
absorbs most of the liquid. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and start with the stuffing.
Stuff your peppers with a spoon, but do not compact them too hard. Put a top
on every pepper. Arrange peppers on a baking tray, spoon some a little oil over
each one, pour half cup of water and add the stuffing mixture, if remained.
Bake for 1 hour, basting occasionally until peppers change their colours to
golden brown.
Serve warm and optionally with a spoon of yogurt and some slices of bread.
