Description
You can use any kind of ground meat for this recipe, but keep in mind that the fattier the meat, the more broth will be produced, and the peppers will boil while cooking. Therefore, it is recommended to use leaner meat for the filling, as it creates a juicy stuffing when combined with vegetables.

- Ground meat - 17.6 oz
- Gherkins - 4 pieces
- Mixed tomatoes of different colors - 1 piece
- Parsley - 3 sprigs
- Salt - to taste
- Orange Bell Peppers - 2 pieces
