Russian Stuffed Sweet Mini Peppers Recipe
by Olga, on September 30, 2014
These sweet mini peppers are so delicious, your family will fall in love with this dish. They are tender in texture and don’t have that bitter taste the bell peppers have.
Cut the top of peppers off and rinse them. Get seeds and membranes out of the center of peppers.
Prepare vegetables: Shred carrots, dice onion and a salary.
With 3 table spoons of oil in frying pan cook half of onion, one carrot and salary over the medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent.
Add 3 cloves of crushed garlic and ginger in a middle of cooking. Continue cooking until tender and fragrant. Set aside and let it cool.
Meanwhile, in clean skillet, with couple table spoons of oil, brown peppers turning them around, to easely brown them.
In a large bowl combine meat, rice and cooled down cooked vegetables. I prefer to buy lean meat and ground it my self.
Add salt and ground pepper to taste and mix it thoroughly.
Stuff peppers with prepared filling with a help of a little spoon, or just do it with your fingers.
Lay stuffed peppers in a baking dish in a single layer.
Now lets prepare a sauce.
In frying pan with 3 table of olive oil, stir onion and carrot, until tender and fragrant.
Add tomato sauce, broth, salt, sugar, spices and cook for another few minutes. Make sure your sauce taste great, adjusting it with more salt or sugar if needed.
Pour prepared sauce over the peppers.
Cover with a foil and bake it in the oven at 350 F. I usually heat it on the top stove until it starts boiling, then transfer it to the hot oven for 30 minutes.

Welcome To My Blog!
Hi, my name is Olga. I would like to welcome you to my site.
I created it first of all, to save my family’s recipes and then to share them with my friends and those who have tasted some Russian/Ukrainian food and liked it. But I also would like to introduce it to those who haven’t yet, but would like to.
I will try to keep my recipes simple, but there are few that might require more prep time or ingredients for preparation. You will also find some of my family’s favorite American recipes here and other international cuisines.
I thank you for visiting my site. I hope you will fall in love with Russian/Ukrainian food and will come back again.
“I always not only drain my meat, but rinse it with hot water. This will get all of the grease off. Then I leave it sitting in the collander over couple of paper towels for a few minutes to get as much water off as it can. Then I will bag or freeze it.
And we always do salt, pepper, and garlic in all of our ground beef recipes.
Great idea! It is always good to take some extra precautions.
I prefer to make my own ground meat, so that I know there is nothing else in it beside spices.
But draining and rinsing meat AFTER cooking will reduce fat calories by about 35-40%.
I so enjoy your site and your recipes. Would you please consider adding a print option so we can enjoy your recipes a little more easily. Thank you.
This recipe was super easy and had great flavor. I do agree with some of the other commenters though – this was too sweet for my taste. I’d probably use a quarter of the white sugar. Otherwise a great dish, I will definitely be making again! I think I may even add some chick peas or kale next time. 🙂

Thank you for visiting my site, Moses. I am glad you like this dish.
I didn’t receive any comments on sweetened yet, but definitely, it is always a great idea to make some changes or to add some other ingredients to an existing recipe, to create the one you like and enjoy it.
