Steps

1 hour 5 mins

1

Preheat oven to 180oC.
2

Wash the mini peppers. Cut the top part of the peppers in order to create a cap. Then, remove seeds from the peppers. Wash the peppers inside to remove any remaining seeds (pepper seeds can cause indigestion and bloating).
3

Mix in a bowl all ingredients, except the extra virgin olive oil.
4

Fill each pepper with the mix you prepared in the previous step with either using your hands or a teaspoon. Fill each pepper up to 3/4 of its capacity since rice will double in volume during baking.
5

Place all peppers in a baking tray and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil.Cover with a kitchen (aluminum) foil.
6

Bake for 45 minutes or until rice is cooked.If you like peppers to look roasted, just remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
7

Note: This recipe could be vegeterian by substituting the minced beef with 15 extra tablespoons of arborio rice.In that case you will use one teaspoon of sea salt and add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in the stuffing.
