Description
A familiar version from our childhood, featuring meat, rice, and a rich tomato-based sauce. In the oven, submerged in broth, the peppers and filling exchange juices with each other, and when served, they are complemented by sour cream with its pleasant milky tang, which brings together that nostalgic flavor. An important note: in the pot, the peppers should stand upright with the filling side up, packed closely together. This way, the filling will stay inside, and the peppers will cook more evenly.
