Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

plus a thick piece of fresh bread…mmmmm….

Heat the oil in a pan and lightly fry the onion and garlic. Then fry the minced meat. In the meantime, chop the bell peppers, including the pickled ones, and add them to the meat. Deglaze the meat mixture with the passata and vegetable stock and simmer for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, cook 1 large cup of rice separately. To refine the dish: stir in 1 cup of sour cream and the herbs before serving. Add the rice and season to taste with: 1 heaped tablespoon of sweet paprika and 1 tablespoon of hot paprika, salt and pepper. Tip: You can of course also cook the rice completely in the stew, but make sure there is enough liquid, otherwise it will burn very easily!
