Fremgangsmåte

For the peppers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, add nonstick aluminum foil to the bottom and nuzzle the pepper halves into the dish, cut-side up. Sprinkle the insides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

For the meat: In a large saute pan on medium heat, add the olive oil, lamb, zaatar, salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, breaking the meat into bits with a wooden spoon, until it’s cooked through and browned, 7 to 8 minutes.

For the rice: Add the cooked rice to the pan with the lamb, then stir in the cilantro, mint, parsley, feta and yogurt.

Fill the pepper halves evenly with the rice mixture. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes. Remove and serve with a spritz of lemon and a drizzle of tahini.
