Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F/180C.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the ground meat, rice, onion, dill, parsley, salt and pepper, and 4 tablespoons of water.

Step 3

Clean the peppers and cut a hole around the stem removing the seeds.

Step 4

Please fill up the peppers with the ground meat mixture and put them in a baking dish.

Step 5

Mix the rest of the water, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and spices and pour it over the peppers.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with a lid or aluminum foil and put the pan in the oven to simmer.

Step 7

After an hour, take the pan out of the oven and flip the peppers on their other side. Place the pan back in the oven but without a cover.

Step 8

Let the peppers bake for another 30-45 minutes or until they get golden brown on top and the sauce is reduced a little bit. Taste for salt and pepper again.

Step 9

The peppers are ready when the fork goes easily through the pepper's skin and when the meat and rice are cooked inside.

Step 10

Serve them hot with sour cream on top.
