Gather @bell pepper{8}, @white rice{100%g}, @sweet paprika{1%tbsp} and @fresh parsley{0.5%bunch}.

Fry the chopped @onion{1} in a pan over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. ~{5%minutes}

In a bowl, combine the @ground beef{400%g}, @ground pork{200%g}, rice, fried onion, paprika and chopped parsley; season with salt and pepper.

Fill the peppers loosely with the mixture — the rice needs room to expand — and cap each with its own top.

Stand the peppers upright in a deep pot; pour the @tomato passata{700%ml} and a cup of water around them.

Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook 70 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the rice inside is fully cooked. ~{70%minutes}

Serve with bread and, ideally, mashed potatoes underneath.
