Stuffed Peppers
Stuffed peppers (пълнени чушки) are a good
alternative. They can be both vegetarian, stuffed with rice and sometimes walnuts,
or stuffed with minced meat and rice. There is a variant, in which peppers are
stuffed with white cheese, covered with egg and flour and fried,
called pepper biurek (чушки бюрек).
