Romania is a very religious country and its cuisine is powerfully influenced by this.Today i am going to present to you a very simple vegetarian recipe,easy to make but so full of flavor. I personally love it even tough being a vegetarian is not my thing,i actually respect vegetarians very much it's a personal choice and we gotta stick to it,and i make it very often in the summer time and because it is light and easy on the stomach yet filling.Lets move on to what you will need :
-12 Green Bell Peppers ( Medium sized with a nice round shape,u will need 10 for stuffing and 2 for the composition itself)
-2 Cups of Basmati Rice
-2 Carrots
-2 Red Onions
-2 Tomatoes
-1 Bunch of Dill
-1 Bunch of Parsley
-3-4 Mint Leaves
-2 Tablespoons of Tomato Puree
-2 Table Spoon Of Sunflower Oil
-Salt
-Pepper
-Water
Preparation : Thoroughly wash the peppers and using a knife cut off the tops making sure to save them for later on.Clean the inside of the green peppers of all seeds and the white fleshy bit which is bitter.Chop up the onion and carrot and mix them with the thinly slice peppers ( the 2 we saved for the composition) and begin cooking them in a frying pan with the oil,just sweat them off .Once the onion is translucent add a little water, the 2 tomatoes chopped in small pieces and the rice.Cook this mixture until the water is mostly absored by the rice,at this point season with salt and pepper and also add the chopped dill.Set the composition aside to cool down.When it's cool enough to handle begin stuffing the peppers and use the tops to cover them up after you have stuffed them.Prepare a pot and set the stuffed peppers in circular fashion inside,then cover them with water.Set the pot over a medium flame and begin to cook.When the rice is almost cooked add the tomato paste to the pot and let the sauce reduce a bit.Serve hot with a sprinkling of chopped parsley.Enjoy your meal.
Wish you all the best.
