That´s nice, I didn´t know that Romanians have a stuffed pepper, too! In Hungary we make it similar, but the tomato isn´t inside the peppers, but the stuffed peppers are cooked in tomato sauce. Sour cream is used to soften the tomato taste.
In the original recipe you don't cook the meat before stuffing the peppers.
delicios!
