Rocoto Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rocoto Peppers

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Cut the tops off the Rocoto peppers and remove the seeds carefully. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté until soft. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in the diced tomatoes, cooked rice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Peppers

    Fill each Rocoto pepper with the beef and rice mixture. If desired, top with grated cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
