- Slice half the onion and put it in a stew pan. Add in tomatoes, tomato paste, water, bay leaf and a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 min. Boil rice in a saucepan with two c. boiling salted water for 10 min. Rinse with cool water and drain well. Soak bread in cool water and squeeze dry. Put in a bowl.
- Coarsely grate remaining onion half and add in to bowl. Add in beef, parsley, paprika, one-half tsp. salt and one-quarter to one-half tsp. pepper and mix well. Add in rice and mix again. Cut a slice off top (stem end) of each pepper. Reserve slice; remove stem, core and seeds from each pepper. Spoon stuffing into whole peppers and cover with reserved slices.
- Stand them up in tomato sauce. Cover and simmer, adding boiling water from time to time if sauce becomes too thick. Cook 45 min to one hour, or possibly till peppers are very tender. Gently remove peppers. Throw away bay leaf. If the sauce is too thin, cook it, uncovered, over medium-high heat, stirring often, till thickened. Add in sugar and simmer for one minute. Add in lemon juice. Adjust seasoning. Serve peppers warm, with sauce.
