| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Cut off the very top part of the peppers. Chop the pepper tops finely, omitting the stems, and save for the filling. Seed and core the peppers; set aside.
|
2. Heat a large covered frying pan and add the lard or oil. Saute the garlic, onion, and reserved chopped pepper tops until tender. Add the parsley and rice, and saute for a few minutes.
|
3. Add ½ cup of the Chicken Stock and cover. Simmer for 10 minutes. Allow to cool. In a large bowl combine the ground meat, paprika, egg, salt, and pepper with the rice mixture. Mix very well.
|
4. Fill the peppers just to the top, but don't pack too firmly because the rice will expand during cooking. Place the filled peppers in a Dutch oven and add the remaining 1 cup Chicken Stock to the bottom of the pot.
|
5. Cover and simmer very gently for 45 minutes, keeping the temperature very low or the peppers will break. Move the peppers about the pot a few times during cooking to prevent sticking.
|
6. After 45 minutes pour the Paprika Gravy over the peppers, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes more.
