What You'll Need
- 8 medium-sized red, yellow, or green bell peppers
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground lamb
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- Salt to taste
- Cayenne pepper to taste
What to Do
- Preheat the oven to 375 degree F.
- Slice off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Remove the stems and finely chop the cleaned pepper tops. Stand the peppers, cut-end up, in a shallow 11/2- to 2-quart casserole dish that has been coated with nonstick vegetable spray.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the lamb, crumbling it with your fingers as you add it. Cook, stirring often, until the meat is well browned.
- Add the onion and chopped pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender; remove from the heat and drain the liquid.
- Stir in the rice, ketchup, raisins, allspice, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, and eggs; blend well. Stir in the salt and cayenne pepper.
- Fill the peppers with the rice mixture, packing lightly. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the peppers are soft and can be pierced with a fork.
