- The ground meat can be any, but the juiciest, tenderest, and moderately fatty filling is obtained from a mixture of beef and pork taken in equal proportions. Place the ground meat in a bowl, add the onion, hot pepper, and rice, salt to taste, and mix well. When kneading, add water little by little so that the filling is not dense but juicy and soft. If desired, you can add a little of your favorite spices, but in moderation, so as not to drown out the aroma of the bell pepper.250 g ground beef, 150 g rice, salt
- Carefully stuff the halves of the peppers, slightly crushing the minced meat.

- While the peppers are frying, prepare the sauce. Dilute the tomato paste with water to the consistency of liquid sour cream and add a pinch of salt to prevent the sauce from being bland. Instead of tomato paste, you can use tomato juice if it is not too watery.70 g tomato paste
- Pour the tomato sauce over the peppers, reduce the heat, and simmer over medium heat until cooked. This will take about 25-30 minutes.
