About Plnena paprika

Plněná paprika, a traditional dish from Czech and Slovak cuisine, features bell peppers stuffed with a savory blend of ground meat, often pork or beef, combined with rice, onions, and seasonings. The stuffed peppers are slow-cooked in a tangy, creamy tomato sauce, which adds depth and richness to the dish. This hearty recipe provides a good source of protein and vitamins from the peppers, while the rice contributes carbohydrates for energy. However, depending on the preparation, the dish can be high in saturated fat due to the choice of meat and cream used in the sauce. Home cooks seeking a healthier version can opt for lean ground meat and reduce the cream content, making it both lighter and nourishing. Plněná paprika is a comforting, flavorful meal that reflects the hearty, rustic traditions of Central European cooking.
