Preparation
- Wash five vibrant bell peppers and cut off the tops carefully. Remove the seeds and inner veins, creating hollowed-out vessels ready for stuffing.
- In a large bowl, mix together raw ground beef, diced white onion, diced tomato, and minced garlic.
- Add in the tomato paste, paprika, oregano, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, cooked basmati rice, and chopped fresh parsley.
- Generously fill each prepared bell pepper with the meat and rice mixture, pressing down gently to pack the filling tightly.
- Place a trivet in the bottom of your Instant Pot and carefully arrange the stuffed peppers upright on it.
- Pour one cup of water into the pot, making sure it does not touch the peppers. Close the lid securely and set the valve to sealing.
- Select the pressure cook function on your Instant Pot and set the timer for 7 minutes.
- Once the cooking cycle completes, let the pressure release naturally for 7 minutes before carefully switching the valve to release any remaining steam.
- Using the trivet handles, carefully lift the stuffed peppers out of the Instant Pot and set them aside on a plate.
- Spread about 5 tablespoons of Bolognese sauce on each stuffed pepper and sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Place the peppers on a baking sheet and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely until the cheese is melty and golden.
- Once your cheese is bubbly and browned, garnish with additional chopped parsley and arrange on a serving platter.
