Ingredients

  • 2 cups Picadillo recipe on the blog
  • 4 Bell peppers
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • ½ cup Onions Diced
  • cup Green Bell Peppers Diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic Diced
  • 1 3oz can Tomato sauce
  • ½ cup White cooking wine
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 2 tbsp White wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Garlic powder
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Red pepper flakes
  • ½ tsp Dried oregano
  • 2 dry Bay leaves

Instructions

  • Dice your onion, garlic, and green peppers in a food processor or by hand. 
  • Using a pot with matching lid, coat the bottom with the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. 
  • Once hot, add the diced onion, garlic, and green peppers and cook for about 3-5 minutes, until the onions are translucent. 
  • Add the white cooking wine, tomato sauce, water, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, and bay leaves. Stir to combine. 
  • Allow the sauce to come to a boil and in the meantime stuff your peppers.
  • To stuff your peppers cut the top off the bell peppers and remove the inside of the peppers. Stuff the inside with about ½ a cup of picadillo. Make sure not to throw away the top of the bell pepper. 
  • Once the sauce is boiling, lower the heat to a medium-low heat to maintain a rolling simmer on the sauce. 
  • Place the bell peppers in the pot and place the top of the bell peppers on the bell peppers. Place the lid of the pot on the pot. 
  • Cook for 45 minutes or until you notice that the bell peppers become soft and wrinkly.
  • Remove from the pot and serve with rice, using the sauce to drench the bell peppers and rice.
