Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bell peppers
  • 2 onions
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3/4 cup of rice
  • Oil for frying
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon of black pepper

For the sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons “chicken flavored” broth/stock powder (with no animal ingredients!)
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste

Instructions

  1. Chop the onions and saute until browned.
