Equipment

Ingredients

2 lb ground pork
4 large bell peppers
1 onion finely chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
½ head cauliflower finely chopped
6 oz tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried tarragon
Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 350 F.
Next, remove the tops of the bell peppers and take out the seeds and insides.
4 large bell peppers
Combine the ground pork, chopped onion, carrots, garlic, cauliflower, tomato paste, oregano, tarragon, and seasonings in a bowl.
2 lb ground pork, 1 onion, 4 cloves garlic, ½ head cauliflower, 6 oz tomato paste, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon dried tarragon, Sea salt and black pepper
Fill the bell peppers tightly with the pork mixture and place them in a baking dish that is snug enough to hold them upright.
Pour in ½ cup of water and cover the dish with foil.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 ½ hours.

Notes

The stuffed peppers should reach 160°F internally at the thickest point for safety.
If possible, fresh herbs such as oregano and tarragon can be used in the ground meat mixture for a brighter flavor.
For those who don't like big pieces of onion in the pepper, you can use a hand grater or food processor to cut the carrots and onions super thin so they add flavor instead of texture.
