Deconstructed stuffed peppers and grape leaves
I did not grow up with eating grape leaves. Grape leaves are very typical to the Arabic, Middle Eastern cuisines but are absent from the Moroccan one. Once I discovered them, I enjoy experimenting with them in the kitchen, just like in this dish
2 red bell peppers
1 big onion
10 grape leaves, washed and drained
3 tbsp. olive oil
½ cup rice
1 tbsp. Baharat
1 tbsp. cumin
¼ cup chicken stalk
1 flat tbsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
Cut the vegetables into strips.
Cook the rice in boiling water, separately, for 5 minutes. Drain.
In a wide skillet, heat the oil and add the peppers. Saute for 5 minutes.
Add the onion and saute for 3 more minutes.
Add the garlic,spices, chicken stalk, rice and grape leaves.
Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
