2cupsEgyptian rice, or ant short grain rice
2medium onions, minced
4tbspoil
1tbspsalt
¾tspground pepper
6 bell colored big peppers
2garlic cloves, minced

½tspfreshly ground black pepper
1lboiling water, chicken or meat broth
Instructions
Wash the rice to get the corn scratch out of it, and drain in a colander.
Cut the peppers top and leave it (stalk on for a better look) because you'll need to cover it after stuffing. Remove the ribs and seeds and wash it with water and drain it upside down.
Filling preparation: Combine onions, oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
Add the minced lamb then the rice and mix until well combined.
Fill the peppers with the rice mixture, and place in a large saucepan with the top up.
Add water or meat/chicken broth to the pan until it reaches half of the peppers.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the rice and peppers are tender, for about 1 hour. Never leave it without water as it may get burned. Always watch it and add water as necessary.
When it's done, carefully transfer the peppers to a large platter. Serve warm with yogurt if desired.
