1 cucharada aceite/ 1 table spoon oil
1 cebolla picada / 1 chopped onion
300 g picadillo fresco (carne picada) /300 g fresh ground beef
100 g arroz cocido /100 g boiled rice
sal, pimienta (orégano y comino opcional)/ salt, pepper (oregano and cumin seed optional)

1 yogur natural (100 g) / 1 natural yoghurt or 100 g sour cream

Cortar la parte superior de los pimientos como una tapa. Quitar las pepitas.
Dorar cebolla en aceite, añadir carne picada y freir unos minutos todo junto.
Añadir arroz y especias (nada de ajo) y rellenar los pimientos.
Colocar los pimientos en la olla o cazuela y freir brevemente en el aceite.
Añadir el caldo y cocer hasta que estén tiernos (piel arrugada).
Añadir pasta de tomate a la salsa, probar de sal, añadir yogur y permitir que calienten estos últimos ingredientes. Retirar del fuego y servir.

Cut top of bell peppers like a lid. Remove seeds.
Sauté onion in oil until golden brown, add ground beef and fry together a few minutes.
Add boiled rice and spices (no garlic) and stuff the peppers.
Place peppers in a pot or pan and fry them briefly in oil.
Add beef stock and cook until tender (skin gets wrinkled).
Add tomato paste to the sauce, salt to taste, add yoghurt or sour cream, stir and allow the sauce to heat up.
Remove from the heat and serve.

Me gusta muchísimo pimientos rellenos--con de más arroz. ¿Te gusta rellenar los pimientos con otras cosas, también? (Hoy en día no como carne de vaca.)

I love stuffed peppers--with extra rice! Are there other things you like to stuff them with? (I'm not eating beef these days.)

We no longer eat beef that is raised with the aid of antibiotics and growth hormones, but we do enjoy organic beef grown without those chemical additives (and considerably safer, in my opinion). It has become quite a bit more availble in our area than it was a few years ago. It is more expensive, but well worth the added cost. One nationally sold brand is Coleman's.

Perhaps the organic beef tastes better, but I've come to dislike the flavor of the regular beef.

Quizás la carne de vaca organica tenga un sabor mejor, pero actualmente el sabor de la carne normal no me apetece nada.

Art, I guess chicken or pork will be a good substitute, but the best would be white tuna.
If you use canned white tuna (bonito) though, do not add any spices, they would spoil the flavour. You can add some chopped parsley and sauté with the onion, but tuna has so much flavour it doesn't really need it.
Just drain the oil, flake the tune meat with a fork and mix with the sautéd onions and boiled rice.

Art, creo que pollo o cerdo pueden valer, pero lo mejor sería bonito.
Si usas bonito en lata, no añadas ninguna especia porque estropearían el sabor. Puedes añadir un poco de perejil picado y pasarlo con la cebolla, pero el bonito tiene mucho sabor y no lo necesita.
Simplemente escurre el aceite, separa el bonito en migas con un tenedor y mézclalo con la cebolla dorada y el arroz hervido.

Yum, that sounds good! I wouldn't have thought of using tuna. Thanks, Terechu.

¡Hmm, qué rico! No habría pensado de usar atún. Gracias, Terechu.

I really think adding Tuna is not as good as just adding grass-fed beef. Mercury in Tuna (Bonito) is high and can cause more serious problems than eating beef.

That's a good point, although the different types of tuna are supposed to have different levels of heavy metals.

The Natural Resources Defense Council has a listing which says that fish with high levels of mercury include canned, white albacore tuna and fresh bluefin and ahi tuna.

Canned, chunk light tuna and fresh Pacific albacore tuna are in the "Lower" category. I don't see any tuna in the lowest category.

For more info, see these:

www.gotmercury.org

Does anyone else think we're killing ourselves?

-----------------

Eso es un punto muy bueno, aunque se supone que los diversos tipos de atún/bonito tienen diversos niveles de los metales pesados.

El Natural Resources Defense Council tiene un listado que dice que los pescados con los altos niveles del mercurio incluyen el atún fresco (bluefin y ahi) en filete y el atún albacora blanco en lata.

El atún "chunk light" de lata y el atún pacífico de la albacora (fresh Pacific albacore) están en la categoría “más baja”. No veo ningún atún en la categoría más baja.

Para más información, ver éstos:

¿Hay alguien más quien piensa que nos estamos matando?
