You want to make Serbian Sarma but you just can’t make the rolls. Punjene Paprike is the recipe for you.
Things to know about Punjene Paprike Recipe
Stuffed peppers are a traditional Balkan dish very similar to Sarma. The similarities are seen in the way the stuffing is made. All the ingredients are the same, and the cooking process too.
The best pepper to use is bell peppers because they are wide and easy to fill. You can use pork or beef or a mix of both. The rice is washed but doesn’t have to be cooked although in some places in Balkan, the rice is steamed.
The most important ingredient is spices. The more spices the better but it is most commonly made with a combination of salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and bay leaves.
