Stuffed peppers are a traditional dish in all [[Southeastern Europe]]an cuisines. Most commonly they are prepared by filling the peppers with a mixture of minced meat, rice and several spices.

Traditionally in Bulgaria the filling is made of rice steamed in advance, onions, minced meat and spices, heat-treated and crammed into pre-cleaned, washed and riddled with needle peppers. After filling of peppers, they are put in a baking dish, water is added and the dish is baked in the oven. If raw egg is added to the cooled stuffing, filled peppers can be cooked in a pan, as the pods are boiled almost steamed.

Besides minced meat and rice, other fillings may be used, such as vegetables (for example [[leek]]) and rice, beans, or fresh cheese and eggs. The peppers themselves can be either fresh or dried. Dried red peppers are used especially in southeastern Serbia around [[Pirot]] and [[Dimitrovgrad, Serbia|Dimitrovgrad]], often in winter.
