An American friend tasted my stuffed peppers for the first time, his reaction made me laugh
How long do you think about how to feed guests who come from far away to leave a good impression of the national cuisine? Do you often find yourself looking for a recipe that is not too expensive and delicious at the same time?
If the answer to both questions was yes, this article is for you.
Today we will tell you about one of the most delicious and budget dishes of Russian cuisine and share tips that will help you cook it better than any chef!
When my American friend first visited our country, I immediately gave him a gastronomic quest. On the first day we went to almost a dozen cafes. The next morning, Oscar announced that he would like to taste some traditional homemade dishes.
The decision on how to please the dear guest came in the blink of an eye. After the request, I immediately replied that I wanted to treat him stuffed peppers.
Oscar was intrigued by how we cooked them. It turned out that peppers with filling are quite a popular dish in America. Only there they prepare very differently.
The first difference is the filling. If we mainly use only rice, minced meat and onions, then our foreign friends stuff peppers with a whole host of ingredients. The second difference is the way peppers are cooked. Americans bake peppers, not stew them. And the third is that in America they are served as a snack, whereas in our country they are considered a full-fledged dish.
As for the tasting of my cooking, it was very successful. Oscar's reaction made me laugh. Having dealt with the dinner, a friend, with genuine indignation, began to read me out for not telling him earlier about such a stunningly tasty dish.
Oscar went home with a detailed recipe for classic stuffed peppers in the Slavic manner. I also wrote out a few features of the preparation of this dish for him, so that it was possible to repeat with accuracy the dish that had so much to his taste.
I would love to share them with you too.

And at the end, I would like to add an important reminder for those who like to harvest homemade semi-finished products. Before sending packed peppers to the freezer, it is necessary to cool them in a conventional refrigerator. So the bag with blanks will not be collected by snow.
How do you make stuffed peppers? Are there special secrets for their preparation? We will be grateful if you share your experience in the comments!
In the meantime, we wish you a beautiful day and say goodbye until we meet again!

Features of preparation of stuffed peppers
- To prepare such a dish, it is best to use meaty Bulgarian pepper. So the dish will have a more saturated taste.
- Before laying peppers in a pan, large-cut onions and carrots should be laid at the bottom. Vegetable pillow will give the dish aroma and help to avoid burning peppers.
- Choose peppers for stuffing should be the same size, otherwise they will be cooked unevenly.
- The peppers must be stewed on a slow fire. Cooking fresh vegetables will take 30 to 35 minutes. But frozen peppers will take a little more time - 50-60 minutes.
- If rice is used for filling, it is necessary to add it to mince only after boiling the cereal to semi-readiness.
- As for what color is better to take peppers, then any fruit can be used for this dish. It is only worth considering that during heat treatment, the bitterness of green peppers, as well as the sweetish taste of red, will not disappear anywhere.
And at the end, I would like to add an important reminder for those who like to harvest homemade semi-finished products. Before sending packed peppers to the freezer, it is necessary to cool them in a conventional refrigerator. So the bag with blanks will not be collected by snow.

I visit my mother-in-law, who always has perfect cleanliness at home, she shared her rules of order.
Instead of lunch and dinner, we have squash cutlets, and households do not mind.
