    GREAT RECIPES!!!!!VOTED ofc.Here in greece we call this recipe Gemista here is a recipe for our greek version,when the beef is mising we call them 'orfana'.We serve gemista with fresh baked bread and lots lots of feta cheese.Give this a try and u wont regret it.Enjoy!!
    Some tips to make the perfect traditional Gemista every single time!
    This traditional Greek recipe for Gemista falls under the category of
    Greek dishes called “Ladera”, meaning Greek dishes prepared with olive
    oil. So make sure to use some good quality extra virgin olive oil, which
    will surely lift the flavor! Although the traditional Greek recipe for
    Gemista doesn’t call for any butter, a little secret is to add just a
    little bit inside the Gemista before adding the stuffing for some extra
    flavor. As the peppers are not as juicy as the tomatoes the stuffing of
    the peppers always comes out a little dry. To avoid that, spoon some
    extra tomato juice over the peppers and they will become just amazing.
    When cooking the Gemista, make sure to cover them with aluminium
    foil as the steam allows the rice to cook and the vegetables to soften
    without them ending up being burnt. When tomatoes are in-season they are
    obviously the best choice to prepare this Greek dish, but for an
    all-year-round dish you can use eggplants and peppers or even
    courgettes! Serve these extra juicy, melt-in-the mouth Greek stuffed
    tomatoes with a block of salty feta cheese and lots of bread. Enjoy!
    Ingredients
    8 tomatoes4 green bell peppers1-2 eggplants5-6 potatoes, cut into wedges2 red onions, finely chopped2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped1 zucchini, chopped500g/ 18 oz. rice (for risotto)1 tin chopped tomatoesa small bunch of parsley, choppeda small bunch of fresh mint, chopped2 tbsps tomato puree2 tsps sugar2 tbsps of buttersalt and freshly ground pepperolive oil250 grams (8.8oz) beef mince (optional)
    Instructions
    To prepare this delicious Greek stuffed tomatoes recipe, start by
    washing thoroughly your vegetables. Slice off the top of the tomatoes;
    using a spoon remove the flesh of the tomatoes and keep it in a bowl.
    (The flesh of the tomatoes will be the base for the tomato sauce for the
    Gemista.) Slice off the top of the eggplants and remove the flesh,
    using a spoon. Cut the flesh of the eggplants in small cubes and set
    aside, as you will use them later for the filling of the Gemista. Slice
    off the top of the peppers and remove the seeds and white parts from the
    inside. Place the empty vegetables on a large baking tray. Try to leave
    the vegetables as thin as possible, leaving just a little of the flesh,
    but be careful not to poke through their skin. Season the empty
    vegetables with a pinch of salt and sugar and add a little butter on the
    bottom of each one.Prepare the sauce for the Gemista. In a blender add the flesh of the
    tomatoes, 5-6 tbsps olive oil, the tomato puree, sugar, season with
    salt and pepper and mix to combine. Set aside.Prepare the filling for the Gemista. In a saucepan add some olive
    oil and sauté the onions, until translucent. Chop the zucchini in small
    cubes, add in the saucepan and sauté for one more minute. At the end add
    the flesh of the eggplants (chopped) and the chopped garlic and sauté,
    until softened. Add the rice and continue sautéing, unit it becomes
    transculent. Pour in 1 tin chopped tomatoes and season with salt and
    pepper. As soon as the liquid has been absorbed, the stuffing is ready.
    Remove the pan from the stove and stir in the fresh herbs. Meat Variation: If you prefer your gemista spiced
    up with some meat, try sizzling 250grams (8.8oz) of ground beef with the
    onions in the step above. Once the beef juices have been absorbed and
    the meat is done, chop the zucchini in small cubes, add in the saucepan
    and sauté for one more minute. At the end add the flesh of the eggplants
    (chopped) and the chopped garlic and sauté, until softened. Add the
    rice and continue sautéing, unit it becomes transculent. Pour in 1 tin
    chopped tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. As soon as the liquid
    has been absorbed, the stuffing is ready. Remove the pan from the stove
    and stir in the fresh herbsAssemble the Gemista. Spoon the filling inside the empty vegetables
    and place the potatoes, cut into pieces, in between the vegetables.
    Season with salt and pepper and pour the tomato juice (sauce) over the
    vegetables and in the baking tray. Cover the vegetables with their lids
    and add 2-3 glasses of water.Cover the Gemista with aluminium foil and bake in preheated oven at
    180 degrees for 60-75 minutes. Halfway through cooking time remove the
    aluminium foil and bake, until nicely coloured.The Gemista are equally delicious, served either warm or even
    straight out of the fridge. Just pair them with some salty feta cheese
    and enjoy!

    I never thought to leave the beans and corn out of chili! Two foods that have been bothering my system. Thanks for sharing. Now I can enjoy one of my favorite foods again. The mushroom pizza also looks amazing. Thinking cauliflower rice would also work as a replacement for the rice in the stuffed peppers.

    • @Jaydit7
      @Jaydit7 7 років тому +1

      If you're doing a raw filling, cucumbers would work..I would not try to bake them. You'll end up with a puddle of water (cucumbers are mostly water...zucchinis have more pulp)....

    @serenatronto3340 7 років тому

    Stuffed zucchini are my favourite. My mum's recipe is a bit different though. She slightly boils the zucchini, then she puts a little bit of tomato sauce and fresh basil in them, before adding the meat stuffing. The meat is raw and she just puts salt, pepper and garlic in it. Then she puts some bread crumbs on top and cooks them in the oven. She freezes them and we eat them all year long.
    Great recipes anyway ;)
    Love your channel !

    I love what you do. Your recipes give me plenty of ideas. I was wondering if you could create a prep series that reuses the ingredients that you buy throughout the week to make the meals as budget friendly as possible. For example, I usually buy a big bag of carrots to use in a soup or to cut up for snacks but it is hard to use the whole bag sometimes. Same goes for a whole chicken. I usually have two dinners out of one chicken but by the 3rd day I am clueless. I would love to see a marriage of your wonderful dishes with a small weekly budget in mind. Thanks!!!!! I voted :)
