Steps:
- Neatly cut the tops off the peppers and set the tops aside. Remove the membrane and seeds from the peppers and discard.
- Heat 4 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy-based saucepan and fry the onion until it begins to colour. Stir in the rice and ground pork.
- Add the herbs, cinnamon, salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and the tomatoes.
- Stir until the rice becomes transparent and the meat loses its redness.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Use the mixture to loosely fill the empty peppers.
- Arrange the filled peppers snugly in a casserole dish (wedging some potato slices between them, if necessary, to keep them upright.)
- Put the reserved pepper tops back on the peppers, like lids.
- Combine the lemon juice, water and remaining oil and pour into the dish around the peppers.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked and hot.
