Instructions

1. First, cook the rice in salted water. Let it cool down and mix it with the ground meat. Add finely chopped onion, egg, salt, and season with spices. Fill the peppers with this mixture and make meatballs from the rest.

2. Make a light roux from oil and flour and pour cold broth over it.

3. Add tomato puree, spices, and while constantly stirring with a whisk, bring it to a boil. Once the sauce starts boiling, place the peppers and meatballs in it. Now simmer on low heat and let the sauce simmer gently covered for about an hour.

4. Season the finished sauce with sugar, if needed, salt. Serve the stuffed pepper with boiled potatoes or dumplings.
