The deliciously stuffed bell peppers are a truly tasty and rich dish, a classic of our Mediterranean cuisine.
The bell peppers serve as a case for the tasty filling, which is further flavored during cooking by the enveloping and delicious taste of the pepper itself.
With a mixed filling of meat and vegetables, they can either be a side dish or, if prepared in abundance, a main course thanks to their richness.
Great to serve hot in the cold season but also cold in the summer season.
Bell peppers are primarily a summer vegetable, but they can be found on the market all year round, like most vegetables.
Bell peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C and A, beta-carotene. Diuretic and purifying, they are also rich in minerals. Ideal for those who want to maintain their figure, as they increase the feeling of fullness.
They are very versatile vegetables in the kitchen, they can be cooked both raw, in mixed salads, and cooked in various ways.

Steps for preparing the deliciously stuffed bell peppers
To prepare the delicious stuffed bell peppers, start by washing the peppers thoroughly and cutting the top off with a steady-handed knife. Cut around the stem and lift. Then remove the seeds and ribs by inserting a small knife inside and rotating it, and eliminate any remaining seeds on the inner wall of the vegetable.
In a bowl, add the ingredients, such as the boiled potatoes and carrots passed with a potato masher, the egg, ground beef, mozzarella cut into small pieces, grated pecorino, fine salt, a sprinkle of poppy seeds, and mix everything until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
Then, arrange the peppers on a tray lined with parchment paper, and, with the help of a fork, stuff them generously.
Sprinkle them with breadcrumbs and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, then cover with the top without pressing. Bake in a static oven at 392°F for about 45 minutes. In an air fryer at 392°F for about 18 minutes
Once cooked, remove from the oven, let it cool slightly and serve… enjoy your meal!
