Colourful peppers stuffed with a delicious mix of authentic fine bulgur, paprika, cumin and flavourful tomato puree. A true flavour explosion, this dish takes you on a culinary journey to the heart of the Mediterranean.
The peppers, with their bright hues of red, yellow and green, are transformed into a stuffed delicacy that will amaze your guests. The filling consists of fine bulgur, a traditional grain product known for its nutritiousness and earthy flavour. Together with paprika, which gives a rich, smoky undertone, and cumin, which adds a warm and spicy flavour, the filling forms a perfect harmony of flavours.
But the real star of this dish is the tomato puree. With its concentrated sweetness and velvety texture, it adds a deep and savoury flavour to every bite. The tomato puree melts with the bulgur and spices, creating an irresistible filling that penetrates the peppers to the core.

The result is a dish that is both visually appealing and full of flavour, with a perfect balance between the sweet peppers, savoury filling and spicy accents.
Serve these stuffed peppers as a main course, accompanied by a fresh salad and crusty bread, or as a side dish with grilled meat or fish. Whatever you choose, this dish will enchant your guests and delight your taste buds with its authentic flavours and simple elegance.
