Stuffed vegetables and leaf rolls
A home-style stuffed vegetable dish made by hollowing out large carrots, filling them with a ground beef and rice mixture, and cooking them in their own juices. Sweet carrots pair with spiced beef for a hearty dinner.
Peel the carrots. Carefully hollow out the center from one end with a thin knife or corer, taking care not to pierce the sides.
Mix the ground beef, rice, grated onion, tomato paste, Turkish red pepper flakes and salt thoroughly to make the filling.
Press the filling into the hollow centers of the carrots with your finger.
Arrange the stuffed carrots side by side in a wide pot. Add the salted water, cover and cook over low heat until the carrots are tender.
Important: When hollowing out the carrots, do not pierce the outer walls; thin spots may crack during cooking. Keep the water level below halfway up the carrots, or the filling may fall apart.
