The story behind this recipe
Mom told me to get gogoșari at the market because the season is ending (?!).
I listened to her, but the idea of baked peppers put into freezer bags really grates on my nerves like a cat sharpening its claws while I'm trying to drift off to sleep.
I decided to stuff them with mixed vegetables based on my own imagination. The result is colorful, tasty, and comes with the promise that I'll definitely cook them again.
For 10 stuffed gogoșari, you need:
10 gogoșari, obviously
1 kg of mushrooms
4 cloves of garlic
2 spring onions
A handful of parsley & dill mix
500 g of peas
3 tbsp breadcrumbs
Optional: 200 g cheddar and 10 tbsp parmesan
We need 2 pans. In one pan, sauté the garlic and onions with a little olive oil. In the other pan, sauté the chopped mushrooms with a little salt.
After the peas are cooked and the mushrooms are sautéed, combine them. Leave on the heat for about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat, add the breadcrumbs and the herbs, and let it cool.
Start cleaning the gogoșari, proceeding as shown in the picture.
Mix the filling, adding the grated cheddar cheese if you've opted not to fast.
Stuff every gogoșar, sprinkle with a tablespoon of parmesan, and put the lid on.
Proceed the same way with all of them, so there’s no arguing.
Leave them in the preheated oven for 35 minutes at 175-180 degrees.
Time to eat! Enjoy 😃
