What it is
Rehydrated dried peppers generously stuffed with a savory minced meat mixture and slow-cooked in a rich sauce. A traditional winter delicacy, distinct from fresh stuffed peppers.
Key ingredients
Dried peppers, minced meat (beef, pork, or mixed), onion, olive oil, tomato paste (small amount), water/broth, paprika, salt, black pepper, dried mint (optional).
If you order it anyway
Crucially, ensure no rice is used in the stuffing. Request minimal tomato paste and confirm it's sugar-free. Control portion size due to natural carbs in dried peppers and onions.
