Stuffed Vegetables

Here is an easy one pot recipe that I cook regularly for my family.  This is a traditional Armenian dish which I have eaten since childhood.  Each family has their own spin on this recipe and often calls it Dolma. 

Stuffed Vegetables

1 Pound Ground Beef

1/2 Cup Uncle Ben's Rice 

4 Green Bell Peppers

4 Tomatoes 

4 Green Zucchini

Salt and Pepper

1) Wash and core vegetables.  Set aside. 

2) Rinse rice and mix with ground beef, season with salt and pepper. 

3) Stuff vegetables with meat and rice mixture and place snugly in a pot.  Vegetables can be stacked on top of each other and extra meat can be made into meatballs and cooked along side vegetables. 

4) Add 2 cups of water to the pot. 

5) Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low and cover pot.  

6) Vegetables are done when rice is cooked, about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours.  

They may be served plain or topped with plain yogurt that has been mixed with garlic.
