Capsicums stuffed with Beans and Lentils

After overeating during holidays, somehow comes naturally to turn to vegetarian / light food. Stuffed capsicums (and other vegetables) are regular dish in Balkan countries. This is one of unusual versions, filled with lentils and beans. Ingredients: 6 medium capsicums, halved and /or other vegetable 2-3 tbs oil 2-3 onions 2 garlic cloves 1 tbs paprika 1 tsp cumin pinch oregano 2 cans white beans, drained 1 can lentils, drained salt and pepper to taste extra olive oil and paprika for dusting Method: Heat oil and fry/sautee onion, until translucent. Add garlic, spices, lentils and beans. Cook 5-10 min. Check the seasoning. Mush one part of this stuffing with fork, mix well and leave aside. Switch oven to 180*C. Prepare a baking dish; oil it well. Cut capsicums in half, take seeds out. Fill each half with bean mixture. When all finished, dust with paprika and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20+ minutes, or until capsicums soft. Serve warm. Paprike filovane grahom / pasuljem i lećom Poslije sve one silne hrane pojedene za protekle praznike, nekako prirodno dodje zelja za vegetarijanskom / laksom hranom. Obzirom da su filovane peprike redovne na stolu mnogih Balkanskih zemalja, odlucila sam pokusati napraviti jednu nesvakidasnju kombinaciju - sa grahom i lecom. Potrebno: 6 srednjih paprika, prepolovljene (ili drugo povrce) 2-3 K ulja 2-3 crvena luka, sjeckana 1 K paprike 1 k kima malo origana u prahu 2 konzerve bijelog graha (ili skuhanog) 1 konzerva lece / sociva so i biber, prema ukusu maslinovo ulje i paprika za posuti Nacin: Zagrijte ulje, proprzite luk, pa dodajte bijeli luk i ostale zacine zajedno sa procijedjenim grahom i lecom. Kuhajte 5-10 min; jedan dio ispasirajte blago viljuskom i promijesajte. Provjerite ukus i ostavite po strani. Ukljucite rernu na 180*C, pripremite posudu za peci; dobro je nauljite. Ocistite prepolovljene paprike od sjemena. Filujte svaku polovicu sa pripremljenim grahom. Pospite crvenom paprikom i maslinovim uljem po povrsini i pecite 20+ minuta, ili dok paprike ne omeksaju. Servirajte toplo.

  2. Vidiš, ja sam samo jela posne suve crvene papruke punjene prebrancem a sveže nikada nisam punila sa pasuljem, a ni sočivom. Nekako to spremam zimi, a leti više stavljam povrće. Nisam znala da je ovo naziv za ovu papriku. Pamtim! Da kod vas je toplo, gledam Australian Open ponekad (više bacim oko kad suprug gleda) i setim se tebe, Mirjane i Džoli u dalekom nam svetu.
