Cooking Instructions

1 hour 30 minutes
  1. 1

    Clean the peppers, wash them on the outside, cut a horizontal piece from the top, and remove the seeds. Clean the tomatoes, wash them on the outside, cut a horizontal piece from the bottom, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Keep the flesh and blend it.

  2. 2

    In a pot, heat half of the oil and sauté the onion with the carrot. Once softened, add the ground beef, sauté, and break it up until it lightly browns.

  3. 3

    Add the tomato flesh and spices.

  4. 4

    Let simmer for 10 minutes over medium heat. Wash the rice and add it to the pot. Stir to prevent sticking and add the parsley and mint.

  5. 5

    Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Stuff the tomatoes and peppers (not all the way to the top, as the rice will expand during baking) and place them in a baking dish with the cut potatoes in between. Salt the top and drizzle with the remaining oil and 1 cup of tomato juice.

  7. 7

    Preheat the oven to 390°F. Add a little water to the baking dish and place it in the oven. Lower the temperature to 355°F and bake for about 1 hour.

  8. 8

    Serve hot with some feta cheese and strained yogurt.

  9. 9
  10. 10

    I know some people make it without meat, but we like it to be hearty.
