Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large green bell peppers, tops removed, seeded
4 large red bell peppers, tops removed, seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ pound ground pork
2 onions, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup dry white wine
1 (10.75 ounce) can tomato puree
1 (4 ounce) package feta cheese
½ cup cooked white rice
½ cup raisins
½ cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place green and red bell peppers in a bowl with enough warm water to cover, and soak 5 minutes.

The peppers were a bit too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

The peppers were a little too oily for my taste. I'll probably drain the ground beef more next time.
