Step 1. For the filling we will use minced pork, but you can mix several types, for example, pork and beef or pork and chicken. Place the meat mixture in a large deep bowl. Using a garlic press, squeeze a couple of peeled garlic cloves directly into the bowl of minced meat. We also remove the husks from the onions and finely chop them (you can chop them using a blender). Add to minced meat and garlic.

Step 2. Now it’s the carrots’ turn. We clean it from the top layer with a knife. Then rinse and coarsely grate (carrots can be chopped using the same blender).

Step 3. We sort out the required amount of rice cereal. If you are sure that the rice is clean, then immediately put the required amount in a colander and rinse several times with warm water. Then put the cereal into a saucepan and fill it with purified water. Cook the rice on the stove until it starts to boil, and then for another 10 minutes after boiling.Drain the remaining water and add the rice to the rest of the filling.

Step 4. Salt and pepper the filling, and then mix until all its components are completely combined. Wash and wipe dry the required number of peppers. We cut them along the fruit into two equal parts and clean out the seeds and film from each. Fill the halves with filling.

Step 5. Place the stuffed halves on a baking sheet. To prepare the gravy for the dish, mix sour cream and tomato paste in a small container. Then add water, salt and pepper to the sauce mixture.
