Instructions:
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs for maximum flavor. Fresh parsley and spearmint provide a vibrant taste that dried herbs can't match.
- Make sure to cook the onions and garlic until they're soft and fragrant before adding the ground beef. This enhances the overall flavor of the stuffing.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can substitute the ground beef with lentils or chickpeas.
- Par-cook the rice before mixing it with the other ingredients to ensure it's fully cooked once the capsicums are baked.
- To prevent the capsicums from toppling over while baking, slice a small piece off the bottom to create a flat surface.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil for the first half of the baking time, then remove it to allow the tops to brown and the flavors to meld beautifully.
And there you have it—Greek-style stuffed capsicums that are both flavorful and nutritious. With their aromatic herbs and hearty filling, these peppers make for a satisfying meal. Serve them hot and enjoy the delightful blend of textures and tastes. Don't forget to garnish with extra parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for an added touch of freshness. Enjoy your culinary creation!
