Biber dolması

Biber dolması is a Turkish delicacy consisting of peppers stuffed with a combination of ground meat (beef or lamb), rice, and onions. There are numerous recipes and variations, so additional ingredients such as raisins, pine nuts, mint, and garlic are also often included in the basic combination of fillings. The stuffed peppers are then slowly boiled in water until they soften. It is recommended to serve biber dolması with fresh bread and yogurt on the side. If desired, the dish can be prepared in a vegetarian version - just leave out the meat and serve the peppers cold.
