How to cook it
-
Heat the oven to 375 F. Slice the tops off the bell peppers, scoop out the seeds and ribs, and set the peppers upright in a baking dish.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet and cook the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
-
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, cooked onion and garlic, parsley, half the paprika, half the salt, and the pepper, and mix until just combined.
-
Pack the filling into the peppers and set their tops back on.
-
Stir the remaining paprika and the tomato paste into the crushed tomatoes, season with the remaining salt, and pour the sauce around and partly over the peppers in the dish.
-
Cover with foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through, then spoon the sauce over the top to serve; the 45-minute weeknight sibling of the slow-braised Kohlrouladen, and a different vegetable besides.
