Stuffed Peppers with Meat

Hello Dear Friends,

It wouldn't be possible without sharing my recipe for stuffed peppers waiting after Antep :) As a matter of fact, the peppers we used in this recipe came from Urfa, not Antep. Antep return both dry pepper as well as dry eggplant I bought. Also pomegranate and sumac syrup I also stocked up :) A bad recipe with sumac sour may come soon.

I prepared this recipe with the recipe of my aunt, whose food I love. He normally uses the sour cream that he prepares and freezes himself, but unfortunately I don't have it. I will be in Muğla towards the end of this month, this time I am thinking of preparing some verjuice juice for myself.

With the recipe of my master Ali before dry stuffed eggplant we had prepared. He definitely adds 1-2 pieces of meat with bones to that pot. You can also add it for extra flavor if you want.

Love…
