• 2 tbsp. tomato paste

🍲 How To Make Delia Smith Stuffed Peppers

1. Set oven temperature to 400 degrees. Cook the rice as directed on the package in a small saucepan.
2. However, heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. Cook onion for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
3. Add the tomato paste and garlic, and simmer for another minute while stirring until the paste is fragrant. Cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, for about 6 minutes, or until it is no longer pink. Remove any extra fat.
4. Blend in cooked rice and canned tomatoes with salt and pepper and oregano. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated.
5. Place peppers in a 13 by 9-inch baking dish, cut side up, and sprinkle with oil. Fill the peppers with the beef mixture. Cover the baking dish with foil after spreading the cheese on top.
6. Bake peppers for about 35 minutes, or until tender. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
7. Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Cook the rice separately: Prepare the rice separately to avoid overcooking when combined with the beef and tomato mixture.
• Use lean ground beef: Opt for lean ground beef to minimize excess fat and create a healthier filling.
• Don’t skimp on seasoning: Season generously with salt, pepper, and oregano to enhance the flavors of the filling.
• Monitor baking time: Keep an eye on the peppers in the oven to ensure they reach the desired tenderness, and the cheese is golden and bubbling.
