These were a healthy dish full of protein. You can use ground pork or beef but I went with turkey. It's full of aromatic herbs, so when they are roasting in the oven, it makes the house smell so yummy!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Rice
6 large Bell Peppers
1/4 cup sliced Lemongrass
6 cloves Garlic
3 Shallots
1 large Hot Pepper, sliced
1 lb ground Pork, Beef, or Turkey
1/2 tbsp Salt
2 tbsp Fish Sauce
2 stalks Green Onions, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh Dill
Instructions:
Soak the rice in warm water for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Wash the green peppers. Cut off their tops, remove the seeds, and set aside.
In a blender add rice, lemongrass, and 1/4 cup water. Blend ten seconds. Add garlic, shallots, and pepper. Blend until you have a coarse puree.
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add ground meat, salt, fish sauce, scallions, and dill. Mix well with a spoon.
Spoon the mixture in each pepper and spread it evenly. place the peppers in a baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil. roast in the oven for 1 hour.
Serve with rice and steamed vegetables.
