One-Pot Dish with Bell Peppers, Ground Meat, and Rice

This recipe is perfect for those who swear by one-pot dishes even in the summer months and are also big fans of stuffed peppers. This delicious and quickly prepared dish uses the same ingredients needed for stuffed peppers, but the preparation method is significantly changed. To top off the one-pot dish, add a spoonful of sour cream at the end, and a piece of bread is sufficient as a side.

Ingredients

  • 2 spoons Oil, olive

  • 500 g Meat, beef, ground

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 1 piece Bell pepper, red, fresh

  • 1 piece Bell pepper, green, fresh

  • 2 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 400 g Tomato, pieces - can

  • 400 g Tomato sauce, without salt

  • 600 ml Soup base, beef, cube

  • 1 piece Spices, bay (leaves)

  • 2 spoons Parsley, fresh

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 200 g Rice, white, long grain

  • pieces Sour cream

Steps

  1. Peel the onion and garlic, and chop them finely separately. Wash and clean the bell pepper (remove the stem and seeds). Cut it into pieces.

  2. Place a larger pot on the stove and heat a tablespoon of oil in it. Add the ground meat and fry it, stirring occasionally, until it breaks into pieces and turns slightly brown. Remove the fried meat from the pot and place it on a plate lined with paper towels.

  3. Pour the remaining oil into the pot and add the onion and bell pepper. Fry the vegetables, stirring, for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and fry everything together for another 30 seconds.

  4. Add all the tomatoes and the broth to the pot. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom well to release all the caramelized bits that formed during the frying of the meat and vegetables. Mix in the chopped parsley, bay leaf, and the fried meat, then season the one-pot dish with salt, pepper, and spices of your choice (marjoram, oregano, paprika, etc.). Once the liquid starts to simmer, reduce the heat and cook on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. After 15 minutes of cooking, add the rice to the one-pot dish. If necessary, add a bit more water or broth. Cook the dish until done (the rice should be soft in about 15 minutes), stirring occasionally.

  6. Serve the prepared one-pot dish in deep plates or soup bowls. Sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top and add a spoonful of sour cream.
