MEAT AND RICE STUFING:
|
1. To partially cook rice, bring rice and water to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Drain and cool. Combine with rest of ingredients and mix well.
|
2. This filling can be used to stuff an assortment of vegetables. It fills about 8 large-sized tomatoes or green or red bell peppers. It is also enough to fill about 12 to 14 small Japanese eggplants.
|
|
STUFED PEPPERS:
|
1. Wash the peppers. Cut ˝ inch off each stem end. Remove the seeds and membranes. Reserve the tops.
|
2. Sprinkle cavities with salt and loosely fill them with stuffing. Replace tops.
|
3. Line a 4-quart heavy covered stove-top casserole with lettuce leaves and arrange the peppers over them. Combine the tomatoes, salt, and broth and pour over the peppers. Spoon butter over each pepper.
|
4. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook covered, for 45 minutes. When they are done, do not uncover for 15 minutes, and then serve.
