Add 1/2 tea glass of water, cook for 10 minutes and turn off the heat. Finely chopped fresh greens in a warm mortar. Add pomegranate syrup and other spices and infuse for 10 minutes.

Pour the sauce over the lined stuffed pies and cover them with a heavy porcelain plate. Cook on low heat for about 15 minutes until the rice swells and let it cool.
Pour a tablespoon of pomegranate syrup or, if you want even more sourness, freshly squeezed lemon juice (in the original recipe, verjuice juice) on the stuffed stuffed peppers you have placed on the serving plate.
You can serve your stuffing cold by garnishing it with fresh mint, parsley leaves and lemon slices. Enjoy your meal!
