Selo Olive Oil

Stuffed Peppers (Punjene Paprike)

Hearty Croatian stuffed red bell peppers with a golden olive oil drizzle, served on a rustic white plate, embodying the warmth of Mediterranean cuisine.

Indulge in the rich and savory flavors of the Adriatic with our Punjene Paprike, a beloved Croatian delicacy. These stuffed peppers are not just a dish; they represent a journey to the Croatian coastline, where the breeze carries the scent of the sea and the fields offer the freshest produce.

The secret to their irresistible taste lies in the golden drizzle of Croatian olive oil, which imparts a subtle fruitiness that complements the robust filling of spiced meat and rice. This recipe is a testament to the simplicity and elegance of Mediterranean cuisine, where quality ingredients speak for themselves.

Cooking Tips for Authentic Punjene Paprike

  • Pepper preparation: Choose firm, bright-colored peppers for a sweet flavor and a beautiful presentation.

  • Rice texture: Partially cook the rice to ensure it's perfectly fluffy after baking.

  • Meat choice: Mix ground beef and pork for a traditional taste or adapt with your preferred protein.

  • Olive oil selection: The dish's soul is a high-quality Croatian olive oil, like the Istrian variety, known for its peppery notes.

  • Sauce savvy: A rich tomato base made with a touch of olive oil enhances the peppers and creates a delightful sauce perfect for dipping bread.

Pairing Suggestions

These stuffed peppers are a meal in themselves, but they pair wonderfully with a light salad dressed in—you guessed it—Croatian olive oil. Enjoy a glass of Croatian red wine, such as Plavac Mali, to bring out the best in these Mediterranean flavors.

Why Stuffed Peppers with Croatian Olive Oil?

Choosing to cook with Croatian olive oil is not only a culinary delight but also a nod to tradition and health. With its high content of antioxidants and healthy fats, it's a choice that benefits both taste and wellbeing. This dish is adaptable for vegetarians, simply substitute the meat with a mix of grains and vegetables, and still retain the essence of Croatian cuisine.

Whether you're looking to bring a taste of Croatia to your kitchen or to experience the comfort of Mediterranean cooking, our Punjene Paprike with Croatian Olive Oil is a dish that warms the heart and delights the palate.
