Advice

Do not fully cook the rice before stuffing the peppers; a short pan-cook is enough, because the rice should absorb tomato sauce while baking.
β€Œ
Why it works πŸ’‘
β€Œ
Mushrooms bring savory depth, walnuts add richness, rice makes the filling hearty, and sweet peppers soften into the tomato paprika sauce as they bake.
β€Œ
Twist 🌢️
β€Œ
For a more rustic winter version, add 120 g finely chopped sauerkraut (1 cup / 4.2 oz) to the filling and reduce the salt slightly.
