Stuffed peppers in sour cream and tomato sauce are a vibrant dish of Bulgarian cuisine that embodies the warmth of home. Sweet peppers filled with a juicy mix of beef and pork mince, aromatic onions, and tender rice soak in a rich sauce made from tomatoes and sour cream. The light acidity of the tomatoes harmonizes with the creamy softness of the sour cream, creating a rich and balanced flavor. Spices like nutmeg and black pepper add sophistication. This dish is perfect for family dinners, warming with its aroma and rich taste. Stuffed peppers are traditionally cooked in a deep pot, slowly stewed in thick sauce, making them incredibly tender. They are served hot alongside fresh bread or herbs to complement the flavor palette. It is a true gastronomic symphony for lovers of cozy and hearty dishes.
