Steam-cooking helps keep the filling tender and juicy.

Instructions

Step 1

Cut the peppers in half crosswise and remove the stems and seeds.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine [A] and mix well until the mixture becomes sticky.

Step 3

Lightly dust the inside of the peppers with all-purpose flour, then fill with the meat mixture from Step 2. Lightly dust with flour again.

Step 4

Arrange the stuffed peppers in a frying pan and cook. Add 3 tbsp (50 ml) water (not included in the ingredients list), cover, and steam-cook over low heat for about 7 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a skewer into the center of the filling. If the juices run pink, continue cooking.

Step 5

Add [B] to the same frying pan and cook until the sauce thickens. Pour the sauce over the stuffed peppers.

Tip

Cutting the peppers in half crosswise and lightly dusting them with flour helps keep the filling from separating from the peppers during cooking.
