Stuffed Tomato And Pepper Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the tomatoes and bell peppers, and scoop out the insides to create space for the filling. Set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Filling

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent. Add the ground beef, cooking until browned. Drain excess fat.

3. 3

   Combine the Ingredients

   In a large bowl, mix the cooked rice, crumbled feta cheese, sautéed beef mixture, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chopped parsley until well combined.

4. 4

   Stuff the Vegetables

   Fill the hollowed tomatoes and bell peppers with the beef and rice mixture, pressing down gently to pack the filling.

5. 5

   Bake

   Place the stuffed vegetables in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes to allow the tops to brown.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
