Hungarian Stuffed Peppers Recipe🇭🇺

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the filling

  1. In a bowl, mix ground meat, uncooked rice, chopped onion, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and egg.
  2. Combine thoroughly.

2️⃣ Stuff the peppers

  1. Fill each bell pepper with the meat mixture, leaving a little space at the top.
  2. Place stuffed peppers upright in a large pot or deep pan.

3️⃣ Make the sauce

  1. In a skillet, heat oil and sauté chopped onion until soft.
  2. Add tomato sauce, paprika, water/broth, salt, pepper, and sugar (optional).
  3. Simmer 5 minutes, then pour over the stuffed peppers.

4️⃣ Cook

  1. Cover the pot and simmer gently 45–60 minutes, until peppers are tender and filling is cooked through.
  2. Occasionally spoon sauce over the peppers.

5️⃣ Serve

  1. Serve hot with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
  2. Optional: sprinkle fresh parsley on top.

✨ Tips

  • Use slightly under-ripe bell peppers for best results — they hold their shape better.
  • Make ahead: flavors improve if left in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
  • Add a dollop of sour cream when serving for authenticity.
  • For extra richness, stir a little cream into the sauce before serving.
