Mom's Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients for Mom's Stuffed Peppers

• 450g beef mince, browned

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic

• 240ml fine bread crumbs

• 60ml grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

• 4 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

• 3 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

• 240ml fresh tomatoes, precooked (or canned tomatoes)

• 2 eggs

• 4 tablespoons olive oil

• 8 medium peppers, stemmed, cored, and seeded

• 1 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling over peppers before baking

• 240ml tomato sauce

How to make Mom's Stuffed Peppers

Preheat the oven to 204°C.

Combine the beef with all the other filling ingredients, then stuff the peppers all the way to the top. It’s fine if the peppers bulge a bit.

Stand the peppers on end in a casserole dish and drizzle the olive oil over them. Bake at 204°C for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 191°C and pour the tomato sauce around them. Continue baking until the peppers brown, about 30 minutes. Bring to the table in the casserole dish and serve.
