FILLED BELL PEPPERS
Fyllda paprikor

Bell peppers are rich in vitamins. It's good to use in salads, on sandwiches and in stews. Or why not fill it with something good? This filling is made from leftovers and other bits and bobs that you normally have in your pantry.

Serves 4

4 middle-sized green bell peppers
water, salt
4 slices bacon
1 finely chopped onion
1 can mixed mushrooms, approx 7 oz
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
0.4 cup diced cooked meat
1 cup boiled, long-grained rice
0.2 cup cream, 15% fat or the like
½ tablespoon Chinese soy sauce
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
some white pepper
butter or margarine for the pan
4 tablespoons grated cheese


Precook the bell peppers in lightly salted water for about 10 minutes. Take them up and drain them. Cut a lid off each pepper and carefully remove all the seeds.

Shred the bacon and fry them up in a pan. Take them up and drain on a paper towel. Sauté the finely chopped onion in the bacon fat, take it up and drain it. Drain the mushrooms but reserve the liquid. Sauté the mushrooms in fat in the frying pan. Mix in meat, rice, bacon and onions. Add cream and some of the mushroom liquid. Flavor with soy sauce, paprika, salt and pepper.

Put the bell peppers in a greased, oven-proof pan. Divide the meat mixture in the peppers and sprinkle with grated cheese. Put the lids on and bake in the oven at 440F for about 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is nicely colored.

Enjoy!
