This recipe is being posted for ZWT II. I was half-raised on Czech food & loved it! I confess I found this on the net some time ago, but didn't document a source. What I copied did contain the name Sylvia Sajna & said "A very delicious stuffed pepper recipe w/a yummy creamy tomato sauce."

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 Stuffed Peppers, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 green bell peppers
1 onion (chopped)
2 lbs lean ground beef
1 cup rice (cooked)
1 egg
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large onions (chopped)
2 (28 ounce) cans tomatoes (whole)
3 peppercorns
3 allspice berries
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Cut tops off of peppers & remove seeds & membranes from inside. (See Note Below).
  • In a skillet over med heat, sauté 1 chopped onion till tender.
  • In a lrg bowl, combine ground beef, sauteed onion, cooked rice & eggs. Season w/parsley, salt & pepper. Mix well & stuff into peppers. Place in a lrg roasting pan.
  • Heat oil in a lrg saucepan over med heat. Sauté 2 chopped onions till soft & translucent. Stir in tomatoes. Season w/peppercorns, allspice berries, ground allspice, oregano, marjoram, salt & pepper.
  • Cook over med heat for 15-20 minutes. Pour over peppers in roasting pan. Cover & bake for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove peppers & transfer sauce to a blender (or use hand blender). Pureé sauce till smooth. Pour sauce back into pan & reheat. Whisk in sour cream just before serving.
  • Note on 8/27: I did not try this recipe b4 I entered it, but I have now. This makes a farily lrg amt of stuffing & it is best to halve the peppers & mound the stuffing equally as pictured. This does not chg the cooking time. The stuffed peppers are very good & the sauce is the "shining star" -- so use it generously. Enjoy!
