1 small onion (diced)
1–2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)

preparation
Prepare the peppers:
Halve the peppers lengthwise, remove the seeds, wash and place them cut-side up in a baking dish.
Fry the minced meat:
Heat olive oil in a pan. Sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the ground beef and fry until crumbly. Season generously with salt, pepper, and spices.
Stir in tomatoes & rice:
Briefly roast the tomato paste, then stir in the chopped tomatoes and cooked rice. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the feta.
Fill peppers:
Fill the pepper halves with the minced meat and feta mixture. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
Bake:
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) or 160°C (fan oven) for about 30 minutes, until the peppers are soft and the cheese is nicely browned.
✅ Tasty tip:
For a slightly lighter version, you can replace half of the minced meat with grated zucchini or carrots – it tastes great and saves calories.
