Ingredients:

Serving

8 large bell peppers
6 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
3 1/2 oz long grain rice
4 1/2 oz ground pork
1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 (14 oz) can plum tomatoes
sliced potato (optional)
1 lemon , juice of
1/2 cup water

Directions:

Neatly cut the tops off the peppers and set the tops aside. Remove the membrane and seeds from the peppers and discard.
Heat 4 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy-based saucepan and fry the onion until it begins to colour. Stir in the rice and ground pork.
Add the herbs, cinnamon, salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and the tomatoes.
Stir until the rice becomes transparent and the meat loses its redness.
Preheat the oven to 350°F
Use the mixture to loosely fill the empty peppers.
Arrange the filled peppers snugly in a casserole dish (wedging some potato slices between them, if necessary, to keep them upright.)
Put the reserved pepper tops back on the peppers, like lids.
Combine the lemon juice, water and remaining oil and pour into the dish around the peppers.
Bake for about 30 minutes until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked and hot.
