Ingredients

• 12 pieces Piquillo peppers (canned or jarred, drained and whole)
• 250 grams Ground beef
• 250 grams Ground pork
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 400 grams Tomato sauce
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8 minutes.

Step 3

Season the meat mixture with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and remove from heat.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture to a bowl. Mix in the breadcrumbs and egg to bind the filling together.

Step 5

Carefully stuff each piquillo pepper with the meat mixture, being gentle to avoid tearing the peppers.

Step 6

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce and chicken or vegetable stock. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Place the stuffed piquillo peppers in the tomato sauce, spooning some sauce over them to coat. Simmer gently for 15 minutes, occasionally spooning sauce over the peppers.

Step 8

Remove from heat and serve the peppers warm, garnished with chopped parsley.
