Stuffed Poblanos (Etli Poblano Dolması)

INGREDIENTS:

4 reasonable size poblano peppers

1/3 lb ground beef (if you want, you can use 1/2 lb ground meat)

1/4 cup rice

2 medium size onions, finely chopped

1/2 bunch parsley, chopped

1/2 dill, chopped

1 tbsp chopped fresh mint

2-3 tomatoes, petite diced

1 tbsp tomato paste (optional)

1 tsp ground black pepper

1 1/2 tsp salt 2 tbsp butter

1-1 1/2 cups hot water

1 tomato, sliced

-Wash peppers, cut the tops parts and clean inside.

-In a bowl mix well ground meat, rice, onion, parsley, dill, mint, black pepper, salt, and diced tomatoes (and tomato paste if you like). It'll be better mixed if you use your hand.

-Stuff poblanos with the mix. Seal the top with a slice of tomato.

-Place them in a broad pot.

-Pour hot water on (make sure water is 1/2 inch below the poblanos)

-Cut butter into small pieces and place on top of poblanos.

-Cook on medium for 45-50 minutes.

-Stuffed peppers are good when served with yogurt on the side. And soak that juice with fresh bread!
