Stuffed Tri-Colored Peppers

These tri-colored stuffed peppers are one of my husband's favorite recipes. He loves all three things: peppers, the colors, and the fillings—this one or something similar, depending on what ingredients he has on hand.

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • 6 peppers
  • 2 leeks
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 400g of pork loin
  • Shall
  • Pepper
  • 200g of mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons of fried tomato sauce
  • 65 g brandy
  • 200g of liquid cooking cream
  • Cheese for gratinating to taste
Method · 35 min
  1. Cut off the stem end of each pepper, which will serve as a lid. Remove the seeds from the inside.
  2. Wash the leeks and slice them thinly. Peel and chop the onion.
  3. Put the oil in a frying pan over the heat and sauté the leeks and onion.
  4. Dice the meat into small cubes, season with salt and pepper, and add it to the pan. Cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Clean the mushrooms and chop them. Add them to the pan and let them cook for a couple of minutes.
  6. Add the tomato sauce and brandy. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
  7. Stir in the cream. Let it boil until the cream thickens slightly.
  8. Cook for another 3 minutes over medium heat. Taste and check if it's to your liking.
  9. Divide the filling inside the peppers and place them in the air fryer—about 3 fit. Put the lids in too, next to the peppers. Set the air fryer for 12 minutes at 180ºC.
  10. After that time, check if they're cooked to your liking—my husband likes them a little firm. Take out the basket, add the grated cheese, put them back in, and program for another 3 minutes at 200ºC.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
