Green Pepper Dolma (Stuffed Green Pepper)%20Recipe "Pin It") Posted on Feb 11, 2010
 Green Pepper Dolma (or Stuffed Green Pepper) is a good home-made meal that most of us like, make it and enjoy. You can use red or yellow bell peppers as well.
Yield: Makes 7 dolmas
 Ingredients
• 400 g extra lean ground beef
• 7 large bell peppers, any color
• 2 1/2 cup cooked rice (about 250 g)
• 50 g fresh mint, finely chopped
• 100 g fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 50 g fresh basil, finely chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 7 tablespoons cooking oil
• 11 tablespoons crushed tomatoes (if you use Persian crushed tomatoes,
use less)
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground saffron
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• salt & pepper to taste
Preparation
Cut a circle at the top of the peppers and remove seeds.
 Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and place peppers in the pot (they should be placed side by side, make sure not to stack them). Boil until slightly softened about 3-4 minutes (take care not to overcook or they might fall apart later on). Drain the water and let cool.
Heat 3 tablespoons cooking oil in a skillet over medium-low. Add chopped mint, parsley and basil and fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set the herb mixture aside. Heat 3 tablespoons cooking oil in a pan over medium heat, add chopped onions and sauté until tender and slightly golden. Add turmeric powder and ground beef and cook until no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Add 6 tablespoons crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, ground saffron, salt and pepper. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until almost all the liquid is absorbed. Prepare sauce by mixing 2 cups of hot water, salt, 5 tablespoons crushed tomatoes, 1 tablespoon oil and lemon juice. Mix prepared ground beef, cooked rice and herb mixture. Fill peppers with the stuffing, pour a little sauce over the each stuffed pepper and close the tops.  Place stuffed peppers side by side (avoid stacking them) in a large pot. Pour the remaining sauce all over the peppers, cover the pot; cook and simmer over medium-low heat until peppers are soft, about 45-50 minutes.
