• Pepper trimmings, remaining during its preparation in stuffing, do not need to be thrown away. They can be cut and added to the sauce. But if the filling is prepared without additional vegetables (cream, for example), then you can grind and add to the stuffing itself.
• Sour cream and cream sauces will be more beautiful if you add a spoonful of tomato paste or ketchup. You can pour a little turmeric, dried paprika.
• The rice itself is dry, so you need to use fatty meat for stuffing, otherwise the dish will not taste good. If the meat is lean, you can add butter, fat sour cream to the filling.
• Green pepper has a slight bitterness, which is especially noticeable in the finished dish. Therefore, it is better to use ripe vegetables for stuffing.
• Did she have enough pepper? You can stuff the tomatoes by selecting the insides from them. Or wrap stuffing in cabbage, grape leaves. And you can just roll the meatballs and freeze.
