Steps

  1. 1
    Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds, keeping the shells whole.
  2. 2
    Soften the onion and carrot in the oil, add the mince and brown it, breaking up the lumps.
  3. 3
    Stir in the rice, paprika, savory, half the grated tomato and 100 ml water. Cook 5 minutes — the rice should be only part-cooked.
  4. 4
    Take off the heat and fold through the parsley. Season well with salt and pepper.
  5. 5
    Fill each pepper about three-quarters full — the rice still has to swell.
  6. 6
    Stand the peppers upright in a deep dish, pour over the remaining tomato mixed with 300 ml water, and cover with foil.
  7. 7
    Bake at 180°C for 50 minutes, uncovering for the last 15 so the tops colour.
