Punjena Paprika, or stuffed peppers, is a traditional Balkan dish popular in Serbian, Croatian, and other regional cuisines. This hearty meal typically features bell peppers filled with a mixture of ground meat, rice, onions, and spices, then simmered or baked in a rich tomato-based sauce. Variations may include vegetarian fillings like quinoa or lentils. Packed with protein from the meat and fiber from the vegetables and rice, it’s a wholesome, balanced choice. Bell peppers are naturally high in vitamins A and C, which support immune health and vision. The dish's tomato sauce adds antioxidants like lycopene. However, depending on preparation, it can be high in sodium and fat, especially if made with fatty meats or excessive cheese toppings. Opting for lean meat, whole grains, and minimal salt makes Punjena Paprika a flavorful, nutritious addition to your diet, rooted in comfort and tradition.
