  5. Add bulgur, sausage, garlic, onion, cheese, cream, lemon juice, mint, coriander, parsley and black pepper, mix thoroughly and combine.
  6. Peel the peppers, remove stems and seeds. Stuff them with the bulgur and sausage mixture.
  7. In a skillet heat the oil over a medium heat, and fry the peppers for a few minutes.
  8. Add the tomato paste and some water, season with salt. Stir and let it simmer for 20 minutes until thickened and cooked.
  9. Serve hot with the tomato paste sauce.
