About Punjena paprica

Punjena Paprika, or stuffed bell peppers, is a traditional dish from Balkan cuisine, popular in countries like Serbia and Croatia. Typically, it consists of hollowed-out bell peppers filled with a mixture of ground meat, such as pork or beef, rice, onions, and a blend of herbs and spices. The stuffed peppers are simmered in a flavorful tomato-based sauce for added richness. This dish offers a moderate balance of protein from the ground meat and fiber from the bell peppers. The peppers are also a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants. While Punjena Paprika can be a nutritious choice, its healthiness depends on preparation methods—using lean meat and minimizing added salt can make it more heart-friendly. However, traditional recipes may include higher-fat meats and sodium-rich seasonings, which should be consumed in moderation for a balanced diet.
