stuffed peppers
Stuffed peppers are among the most loved Bulgarian dishes
and they are prepared all over the country, despite the fact that
the recipes differentiate in the various regions of Bulgaria. The
dish is prepared by flavorful fresh and dried peppers, and the
foreign guests of the country like it very much.
The most significant part of the recipe is the filling. It can be
prepared with mean, as well as without meat - only by rice
and spices. Meat is usually a minced mixture of veal and pork
meat; depending on the preferences it can be made only of
one of them. In some regions peppers are baked, and in others
they are boiled; and spices are usually paprika, savory,
salt, etc.
Peppers can be green or red, as red peppers are more flavorful
and sweet and give the dish a specific taste.
