WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?
Bell peppers – I love to use a mixture of green, orange, and red peppers.
Basmati rice – basmati is my favorite for Mediterranean dishes but any long grain rice will work. Brown rice or quinoa make good substitutes.
Garlic – fresh minced garlic works best here.
Yellow onion – diced and sautéed with the garlic adds the best flavor.
Ground beef – I used a little over 1lb of meat and it yielded a lot of filling, enough for 6 whole peppers. You could easily ½ this recipe for less people. You could also freeze the extra filling for up to 4 months to use again at a later date.
Crushed tomatoes – I love the San Marzano crushed tomatoes.
Chicken broth – this can be substituted for water if you don’t have any broth on hand. Water mixed with chicken bouillon works as well.
Feta – buy as a chunk in brine and crumble with your hands when using.
Fresh parsley – brightens up the dish and adds color to the plate.
Spices (salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, oregano, cinnamon, cayenne, paprika) – this spice mixture is what gives the filling that Greek flavor you recognize from other popular beef dishes like moussaka. Read More...
