Do you like stuffed peppers? Then try a slightly modified version of the cooking! The "highlight" of this recipe is the use of millet instead of the usual rice for such a dish, as well as Greek sauce instead of tomato.

It is necessary

• - 4 things. red sweet ("Bulgarian") pepper;
• - carrots (1 pc. medium size);
• - onions (1-2 pieces of medium size);
• - 2 tsp soy sauce;
• - 100 g of millet;
• - 280 g (ml) of water for cooking cereals;
• - 20 g butter;
• - 1-2 pcs. ground tomatoes;
• - unrefined sunflower oil for frying
• For the sauce:
• - Fresh cucumber (1 pc.);
• - 180-200 g of thick yogurt without additives and sugar (preferably from cream, but also suitable from milk);
• - 1-2 cloves of garlic;
• - 2 tbsp. olive oil;
• - 1 tbsp. vinegar (3-6%) or lemon juice;
• - a few sprigs of basil;
• - other herbs - optional;
• - salt, black and / or allspice - to taste.

Instructions

Step 1

Wash and dry the cucumber. Peel and grate on a fine grater. Crush the garlic with a knife and chop very finely. Wash the greens, dry and chop finely.

Step 2

Combine cucumber, garlic, herbs, yogurt, olive oil, vinegar (lemon juice). Salt, pepper, mix again. Put it in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Sort out the cereals, pour boiling water (in sufficient quantity) and leave for one hour. This is necessary to swell and remove bitterness.

Step 4

Drain the liquid, put the cereal in a saucepan. Pour in fresh water, bring to a boil, salt and cook until almost cooked through (about 20 minutes). Cool it down.

Step 5

Wash the carrots, peel and grate. Peel the onion and chop finely. Pour oil, soy sauce into the pan, heat well. Add prepared vegetables, lightly salt and fry until tender over low heat. Cool it down. Mix with millet porridge.

Step 6

Wash the pepper, carefully cut off the top with the stalk - you can make a "lid" from it. Remove seeds. Dip in a pot of boiling water for a few seconds and remove the skin. Lightly fry the peppers in a skillet with oil.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Fill the peppers with porridge and vegetables, cover and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Wash the tomatoes, drain, cut into slices about 0.8-1 cm thick. Put in a pan and lightly fry over high heat.

Step 9

Remove the peppers from the oven and place on plates. Place the fried tomatoes on top, cover with "lids". Serve the Greek sauce separately.
