Instructions:

For the tomato sauce, first heat olive oil in a pan. Fry the shallot cubes in it, add the tomato cubes and tomato paste. Dust the mixture with flour and pour in soup, stirring well. Season with salt and sugar, add bay leaf and let the sauce simmer covered for about 30 minutes.

In the meantime, for the filling, cook the rice in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes, then drain thoroughly. Heat the oil and fry the onion in it. Add garlic, parsley, thyme and rice and sauté. Strain the tuna and add to the rice with about 2 tablespoons of the drained liquid. Season the filling with chili powder, salt and pepper.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Wash the peppers and cut off one “lid” from each. Remove “core” and carefully spoon out remaining seeds. Pour in the prepared filling mixture and cover with the “lids”.

Pour about 2/3 of the tomato sauce into an ovenproof dish, removing the bay leaf. Put the stuffed peppers in, pour the remaining sauce over them and bake in a hot oven for about 40 minutes.
