4 large green peppers
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, mashed
4 Tbs. butter or vegetable oil
1/2 pound ground pork
1 cup cooked white rice
4 Tbps. fresh parsley, chopped
2 tsp. marjoram
1, 28 ounce can tomatoes, crushed
...with a fork
To prepare the sauce in which the peppers will cook,
heat 2 Tbsp. of the oil or butter on medium/low in a
large frying pan or casserole dish. Add half the
chopped onion and fry, stirring occasionally, until
almost golden. Pour on the canned tomatoes.
Season with 2 Tbsp. of the chopped parsley, 1 tsp. of
the marjoram, and salt and freshly ground black pepper
to taste.
Leave to simmer on low heat, uncovered, while making
the peppers.
Cut the tops off the peppers. Core the peppers and
then wash them. Chop the tops and set aside.
Heat the remaining butter or oil on medium/low in a
frying pan. Add the remaining onions and the garlic.
Fry, stirring occasionally, until almost golden. Add
the ground pork and chopped tops. Mix well, and fry
until the meat is browned throughout. Take off heat.
Mix the cooked rice into the pork. Mix in the remaining
parsley and marjoram. Season well with salt and pepper.
Fill each of the peppers with the stuffing.
Put the peppers in the tomato sauce. Cover the pan, and
cook on medium/low heat until tender, about 30 minutes.
Makes 4 servings.
