Stuffed paprika
Author.::.4zy
Well, now we’re going to cook “Stuffed paprika”, which can be called an “autumn” hot dish :-)
What do we have to buy? 600-800 g. of forcemeat (if you have a mincing-machine, better make forcemeat yourself), 8-10 (better red) mid-sized paprika, half glass rice, 2 medium onion bulbs, 2-3 tomatoes and tomato paste (nearly 200-250 g. – it’s half the usual tin). And at last, we’ll need a dish to bake it in the oven (a stewing-dish or a baking form will do).
First of all start boiling rice, and while it’s getting ready, begin frying onion for forcemeat and make the sauce meanwhile.
Then we fill some dish or a saucepan with forcemeat in order to mix it with rice and onion later on. Don’t forget to add some salt and pepper. Cut the onion into small parts and fry it until it becomes golden and then add it to the forcemeat.
Prepare paprika in the following way: wash it, cut down the upper part of each paprika, scrub it inside and leave it alone.
Now the sauce: cut the tails from paprika tops, throw the tails away, cut and fry paprika, cut tomatoes and add them to paprika and then in some minutes add tomato paste; finally add some boiling water for the necessary consistence. Some salt and pepper should be added to the sauce (you may also add some Italian herbs). Then let the mixture boil for 5 minutes.
When rice is ready, mix it with forcemeat and fill paprika with this stuff. Then put paprika into the dish and pour the sauce all over. Finally place the dish into the oven which is already warmed up to 200-250 degrees. In 50-55 minutes paprika is ready.
Bon appetite!
