Posne punjene paprike – Peppers filled with mushrooms and rice
90 min
Peppers filled with mushrooms and rice, a meat-free dish from The Grand Heritage Cookbook (Recipe 089, The Hilandar-inspired table). Serves 4. Prep 30 min, cook 60 min. Mushrooms give substance to the filling without meat.
Ingredients
Method
Remove pepper caps and seeds. Chop onion and mushrooms finely, then rinse rice.
Cook onion in oil for 8 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until their moisture evaporates, then stir in rice, half the salt and pepper.
Fill peppers three-quarters full and stand in a snug pot. Replace caps loosely.
Mix passata, water and remaining salt and pour around the peppers. Cover and simmer for 50-60 minutes.
Check the rice inside one pepper for tenderness. Rest for 10 minutes and serve two peppers per person.
