Punjene paprike are bell peppers stuffed with a seasoned mix of ground meat and rice, then simmered gently in tomato sauce until meltingly tender. The peppers soften into sweet, smoky pockets of flavor.
This dish is a Balkan summer classic, served hot with a dollop of yogurt and crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Home cooks guard their family versions closely.
