Stuffed Green Peppers

One of the classics ...

Ingredients:

• 2 large green peppers, halved and deseeded
• 1 onion finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic
• 250g minced meat
• 4 slices Speck (can be substituted with bacon) cut in strips
• Tomato sauce
• Salt & Pepper
• 4 Eggs
• Olive Oil

Method:

1. In a preheated non stick pan, put in some olive oil and fry lightly the onion and garlic until tender.
2. Add the minced meat and the speck strips and fry until browned.
3. Add the tomato sauce and season accordingly.
4. Spoon the mixture in the halved green peppers.  If peppers are small you can de-seed and fill them up instead of halving them.
5. Put a pan or a pot with some water and put in the stuffed peppers.  Close the pan with a lid and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the peppers, until the pepper is tender. 
6. Once the green pepper is tender crack an egg on top of each half and put on the lid again.  The egg will cook with the heat from the pepper.
