Cut the top part of the peppers in order to create a cap.
4
Then, remove seeds from the peppers.

6
Mix in a bowl all ingredients, except the extra virgin olive oil.
7
Fill each pepper with the mix you prepared in the previous step with either using your hands or a teaspoon.
8
Fill each pepper up to 3/4 of its capacity since rice will double in volume during baking.
9
Place all peppers in a baking tray and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil.Cover with a kitchen (aluminum) foil.

Bake for 45 minutes or until rice is cooked.If you like peppers to look roasted, just remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.

Note: This recipe could be vegeterian by substituting the minced beef with 15 extra tablespoons of arborio rice.In that case you will use one teaspoon of sea salt and add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in the stuffing.
