This Turkish stuffed-pepper dish is made by filling long green peppers with a ground beef and rice mixture and cooking them in an air fryer much faster than in a traditional pot. Their thin skins soften faster than bell peppers and let the filling’s flavor come through.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the Filling

6 min

Thoroughly mix the ground beef with the rice, onion, tomato, tomato paste, parsley, mint, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

2

Stuff the Peppers

4 min

Fill the hollowed long green peppers with the mixture, leaving a finger’s width of space at the top.

3

Cook in the Air Fryer

15 min

Arrange the stuffed peppers in the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C / 355°F for 15 minutes. If you do not have an air fryer, you can bake them for the same amount of time in an oven preheated to 180°C / 355°F.

Reminder

Long green peppers have thinner skins than bell peppers; do not press the filling in too firmly, or they may tear easily in the air fryer.
