Method
- 1
Mix the mince, rice, onion, garlic, egg, paprika, salt and pepper until combined.

- 4
Stand the peppers upright in the sauce, put the tops back on and cover.
- 5
Simmer gently for 1 hour until the peppers are soft and the rice is cooked.
60 min - 6
Taste the sauce for salt and serve each pepper with a ladle of sauce and fresh bread.
