Turkish Stuffed Green Peppers

by Zerrin Gunaydin

Ingredients

10 sweet bell peppers
250g lean minced beef
1.5 cups rice
4 medium sized onions
4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
4 tbsp tomato puree
2 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp dried mint
2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp chilli powder
1/4 tsp cumin
3 tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1.5 cups water

Directions

Cut the peppers in half lengthwise. Prepare the filling by combining the rice and minced beef with all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. The spices really enrich the flavors in this recipe, so use them all. Stuff the peppers with the filling and cook them in a shallow pan. When stuffing the peppers, make sure you leave enough room for the rice to cook.

I simply love our family veg boxes from GWG. It's reassuring to know that their own grown produce is nurtured from seeds that are soil association approved and that they use only organic methods of growing.
