Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
  • Add the ground meat to the pan and cook until browned. Make sure to break up any large chunks of meat with a spatula or wooden spoon.
  • Stir in the paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Remove the pan from heat and add the cooked rice to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  • Take each Piquillo pepper and carefully stuff it with the meat and rice mixture. You can use a small spoon to help pack the filling tightly into the peppers.
  • Once stuffed, place the peppers in a baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the peppers.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let the Piquillos Rellenos cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve the Piquillos Rellenos as an appetizer or a main course. They pair well with a fresh green salad or crusty bread.
