Keema—an Indian dish of spiced ground beef—lends unexpected complexity to these easy stuffed peppers. Use peppers in a variety of colors for a pretty presentation.

| *Note: Cook the rice slightly less long than you normally would, allowing it to retain a firm—not crunchy—center. The rice will finish cooking inside the peppers, resulting in a perfect tender texture. Click here to learn more about cooking Basmati rice. |
