Töltött Paprika is an authentic Hungarian recipe of stuffed bell peppers filled with pork mince and rice, served in a rich tomato sauce with sour cream. To ensure that it packs the most flavour, make it when the peppers are at peak freshness.

- 10 yellow and red bell peppers
-
1lb ground pork
- 2 cans tomato juice
-
½ cup rice, partly cooked
- 1 cup water
-
1 minced brown onion
-
1 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
-
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
-
½ tsp hot paprika
-
sugar

sour cream (crème fraiche)
Directions
Par boil the rice for 5 minutes, then rinse and set aside to cool.
Wash the peppers, remove the tops and seeds, and clean them with a spoon.
Brown the minced onions in oil, then combine them with the meat, the par-boiled rice, salt, pepper, and paprika in a large bowl.
- Stuff the peppers with this mix and form little balls from any leftovers.
- Place the peppers and any meatballs into a deep pot, then pour the tomato juice and water to cover them up. Simmer for around 45 minutes until rice and meat is cooked.
