Olive oil in a frying pan (low heat) - add one or two chopped onions + carrots + celery, then add some rice, and finally add some mince; add some water, tomato purée, salt, black pepper, paprika and cook for a while.
Then stuff the peppers, put them in a deep saucepan, cover them with water and put a plate on top of them - no idea why this is done, but my mother does it, so I'm sure it serves a purpose. Cook until they are done; if you want to use the oven instead, put them in a baking pan, cover 1/3 with water, and cook for 40 minutes or so...
If you are fasting, you can make the stuffing with onions, rice, mushrooms, etc. and skip the mince.
