Preparation

Step 1

To make the meat filling, add a tablespoon of butter drizzle a bit of olive oil in a large skillet and add chopped meat. Use a spatula to break it up and saute until just about cooked all the way. Then add green peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they begin to soften. Add chopped tomato, grated onion, smoked paprika, Turkish red pepper (or regular red pepper) and tomato paste. Stir everything together and cook on medium-high heat until the liquid evaporates and vegetables are soft. Season with salt and pepper and taste for seasoning. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
