Stuffed pointed peppers are a quick party appetizer filled with a rich mixture of fine bulgur, pine nuts, and currants, then briefly simmered. Whole-grain bulgur adds texture and nutrition, while the small peppers make these easy to eat in one bite at parties.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the peppers

6 min

Cut off the stems of the pointed peppers, hollow them out, and remove the seeds.

2

Make the filling

6 min

Finely chop the onion, tomato, and parsley. Mix with the bulgur, tomato paste, pine nuts, currants, dried mint, olive oil, and salt.

3

Stuff the peppers

6 min

Fill the pointed peppers about two-thirds full with the mixture.

4

Simmer

10 min

Arrange the peppers snugly in a pot. Pour the lemon juice and water over them, cover, and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.

Reminder

Fill the peppers only two-thirds full; the bulgur expands as it cooks, and the peppers may split if overfilled. Allergen information: Contains wheat (gluten from bulgur) and pine nuts.
