Secrets of delicious stuffed peppers
Some people just love stuffed peppers, which is why they cook it almost every day. But in order to somehow diversify the menu, they use various sauces.
Even if peppers are stuffed with the same filling, their taste differs with different stewing methods. As minced meat, you can use not only meat, but also vegetables, diluting the filling with various cereals.
There are several secrets to making stuffed peppers:
1. If using raw rice for the filling, it is best to stuff the vegetable not too tightly. But the best pepper is obtained if the cereal is boiled until half cooked.
2. The meat should be seasoned with carrots and onions, lightly stewed in butter.
3. After boiling the peppers, cover them with a lid and continue cooking, but over low heat.
Pepper sauces
The easiest way to stew stuffed peppers is to cook them in water with salt and seasoning from the same vegetable. This requires, first of all, a saucepan. Stuffed peppers need to be placed in it. Then dissolve pepper and salt in water. The resulting solution must be poured into the future dish. In this case, the water should cover the vegetables.
For a pleasant smell, you can put a bay leaf in a saucepan and then put it on the fire. After the peppers boil, cook them over a slower heat until tender.
The second way to stew stuffed peppers involves cooking them in sour cream. The dish turns out to be more tender.
First you need to dilute the sour cream with water so that it becomes less thick. It is best if the amount of these ingredients is the same when diluted. The resulting mixture must be seasoned with ground pepper and salt. Pour the sauce into a saucepan with peppers and cook until tender.
There is another way to extinguish. For this, tomato-sour cream sauce is used. To prepare it, you need to take two tablespoons of tomato paste and add it to 350 grams of water. Next, season the sour cream with spices and dilute the resulting mass in a water-tomato solution. The sauce must be added to the peppers and cooked until tender.
You can use tomato juice to stew stuffed peppers. To do this, you just need to salt it (for lovers - pepper it) and add it to the main dish.
Tomato sauce can also act as a sauce. To do this, you need a blender, in which you need to place chopped herbs, slices of tomatoes and garlic. All this must be chopped and poured into a saucepan with peppers. To prevent the tomato filling from being too thick, it can be diluted in a little water.
