Why exactly bell pepper

The pepper is stuffed in national cuisines Bulgarians, Romanians, Moldavians and some others. Bell peppers used for stuffing come in red, green and yellow colors. It is very meaty and has a sweet taste.

Dishes from bell pepper are nourishing, aromatic and very healthy. They can improve mood and well-being. It's nice to know that a cooked dish not only satisfies your hunger, but also has a positive effect on your health! Bell pepper is good for the intestines, lowers blood pressure, thins the blood, has a good effect on the skin and hair, and improves immunity. It is even able to relieve fatigue, soothe and relieve insomnia.

It is noticed that even after boiling or baking beneficial features persist. What an amazing dish will turn out if bell peppers are stuffed with vegetables, which also contain various vitamins and nutrients!

Another argument in favor of bell peppers: they are the perfect shape for placing vegetables. In addition, during the cooking or baking process, it retains its shape, only it becomes softer.

What vegetables to include in the recipe

It is better to take red pepper, it contains more vitamins than green and yellow. In addition, it looks very appetizing. Green sometimes darkens during cooking and may acquire a grassy smell.

Fleshy peppers will give the dish a sweetish taste, and thin peppers - a bitter one. Therefore, choose according to your taste. If you want the dish to be juicy, then thicker peppers are better. The peppers should be approximately the same in size, no more than 9 cm in length, regular shape and preferably free from defects.

Next, you should think about what vegetables you will use to make the stuffed pepper filling. You can experiment depending on your taste. For our recipe, let's take tomatoes, zucchini and carrots.

Tomatoes can be used in any size, as long as the skin is not damaged. Zucchini are suitable early, young, without hard seeds. Zucchini can be substituted with courgette, but it is more watery. Carrots should be sweet, without bitterness, not very large.

We will also include rice in the recipe, preferably crumbly.

How many vegetables should you take in order to make 10 stuffed peppers? A very memorable ratio: for 10 peppers, 2 pcs. each vegetable (zucchini, tomato, carrot, onion), 1 glass of rice, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and salt, pepper and herbs to taste.

A harmonious addition to the recipe for stuffed peppers can be a special vegetable sauce in which the peppers will simmer.

To prepare the sauce you will need: 2 tomatoes, 2 carrots, 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. But put sugar, salt, herbs and your favorite seasoning to taste.

Now let's move on to cooking.

Cooking stuffed vegetable peppers

The tops of the peppers should be cut off and seeds removed. Some housewives throw out the tops with the seeds, but it is better to leave them. It is the stalk that contains the largest amount of vitamins.

It is better to pour over the peeled peppers with boiling water or bake in the oven for a few minutes.

Cook rice for 10 minutes until half cooked.

Cut the tomatoes, courgettes and onions into cubes, grate the carrots. Fry the onions for a few minutes, then add the carrots and fry for another 5 minutes. Fry tomatoes and courgettes separately. Mix rice with vegetables. Mix the resulting mass, salt and pepper. The peppers should be stuffed by tamping the filling well and leaving no voids. Then stuff the peppers and place them in a container.

The recipe for the sauce is very simple. Dice the onion and grate the carrots. Fry the onions and carrots in one pan, and the pre-grated tomatoes in a separate pan. Then combine everything and simmer for 20 minutes until thickened. Then add tomato paste and stir well. Then add salt, pepper and sugar.

Pour the peppers stuffed with vegetables with the prepared sauce and simmer over low heat for half an hour. 10 minutes before cooking, crush the garlic, chop and add the herbs and add your favorite seasoning.

After the dish is ready, you need to let it brew a little. After that, put in plates, garnish with the remaining herbs and serve.

Fragrant appetizing stuffed peppers will not only saturate you, but also cheer you up. You will want to find his recipe and cook again.

For the vegetable filling, we need cabbage, carrots and onions. We will peel these vegetables (it is enough to remove the top leaves from the cabbage), then we will cut them into cubes.


Fry vegetables in vegetable oil until half cooked, so that later simmer with pepper. Lightly salt the filling during frying, add a little ground pepper.


Let's clean the bell peppers - cut off the tails and use a knife to remove all internal seeds and partitions.


Fill the peeled peppers with the vegetable filling. If you don't like cabbage, then replace it with any other vegetable: zucchini, celery or potatoes.


Dilute the tomato paste with water and fill the stuffed pepper with the resulting sauce. For 2 tables. l. water we use about 1.5-2 glasses of water. If there is no tomato paste, use tomato juice, but do not dilute it with water.


We simmer the pepper under a closed lid for 30-35 minutes until fully cooked, you can add a couple of pinches of sugar to the sauce so that it is not sour.
