INGREDIENTS:
6 green peppers
180 grams (6 oz., 3/4 cu.) pine nuts
4 large unions
250 grams (9 oz., 1 1/2 cu.) olive oil
450 grams (1lb., 2 1/2 cu.) long-grain rice
125 grams (4 oz., 1/2 cu.) currants
5 grams (1 tsp.) salt, 3 grams (1 tsp.) pepper
15 grams (1 tbs.) sugar, water to cover
7 grams (1/2 cu.) mint
4 grams (1 tsp.) allspice
lemon slices, tomato wedges
10 grams (1/2) cu.) chopped flat-leaf parsley
30 milliliters (1 oz., 2 tbs.) lemon juice
Choose medium-sized green peppers. Wash them and cut out the stems.
Core with an apple-corer or paring knife. Make the stuffing by lightly frying
the pine nuts and chopped unions in olive oil. Add the wshed rice and
cook, stirring, for five minutes. Add the currants, salt, pepper and sugar.
Pour in water to about twice the depth of the other ingrediants in the pot
and simmer until the water is absorbed. Add mint, allspice and lemon
juice. When cool, stuff each pepper loosely, as the rice will swell. Cover
open end of pepper with a slice of tomato like a lid. Set the stuffed
peppers in a single layer in a large pan or dish. Sprinkle with salt and
sugar, drizzle a little olive oil and 250 milliliters (1 cup) of water over them
and simmer very slowly until the peppers are just tender. Decorate with
chopped parsley, lemon slices and tomato slices or wedges, and
refrigerate. Serve cool.
Other vegetaables stuffed in the same manner are tomatoes, zucchini
(courgettes), eggplant (aubergines), cabbage leaaves or grape leaves.
Both kinds of leaves should be briefly parboiled to make them tender and
flexible.
