Stuffed peppers with lamb

From "Classical Turkish cooking: Traditional Turkish food for the American kitchen" by Ayla Algar.

We ended up cooking the peppers for less than the recommended time (perhaps 25 minutes or so?), Partly because we were in a hurry to beats and partly because the meat thermometer inserted into the peppers said that it had reached a safe temperature of 160°F, or so. The problem is that the Rice was not fully cooked and was overly firm. Next time, I guess we shouldn't worry so much about overcooking the meat and should make sure that the rice cooks through, instead (or we could presoak/precook the rice).

In any event, the flavor was excellent with all of the herbs and spices.
