Soy mince stuffed dried peppers are a meat-free take on Turkish kuru biber dolması: dried peppers filled with soy mince and typically a rice-based mixture, then cooked until tender. Stuffed dried peppers are a familiar home-style dish in Turkey, with fillings and seasoning varying from household to household.
The peppers soften as they cook, while the filling takes on the flavour of its herbs and spices. Serve them warm or at room temperature, as a main with yogurt or alongside other small dishes. Soy mince and the pepper-and-rice filling make this a plant-based source of protein and fibre. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of oil and add a fresh salad.
