You’re asking about Hungarian Layered Green Peppers 🇭🇺 (Rakott Zöldpaprika).
This is a lesser-known but very homey Hungarian dish that’s made in a similar style to rakott krumpli (layered potatoes) or rakott káposzta (layered cabbage). Instead of potatoes or sauerkraut, the key is sweet Hungarian green peppers (TV paprika) layered with seasoned meat, rice, and sometimes sour cream and tomato flavors.
