Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 very ripe tomato
1 small green bell pepper (finely chopped)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 small onion (minced)
1 small zucchini (grated)
6-8 fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)
13-14 tablespoons parboiled rice
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium-sized tomatoes
3 medium-sized green bell peppers
2 medium-sized zucchinis
2 medium-sized eggplants
3 medium-sized potatoes (peeled & cut into wedges)
120 ml olive oil
salt & pepper
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Using a box grater, grate the tomato insides along with the ripe tomato for the filling into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients for the filling, season with salt and pepper and combine well. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 446 °F / 230°C.
  • Rinse and prepare all the veggies. Cut off the ends of the zucchinis and peppers.
  • Slice off the top of each vegetable about 1-2 cm.
  • With a pointy tablespoon scoop of the tomato insides and set aside.
  • Remove any seeds and white membranes from the peppers leaving their insides clean.
  • Using a melon baller or a sharp knife, remove most of the inside flesh of the zucchinis and eggplants and discard it. Leave a 1-2cm thick wall lining on the veggies.
  • Place all veggies in a large pan leaving enough space around them to place the potatoes.
  • Using a spoon fill each vegetable completely and place its top back on.
  • Add the potatoes all around the veggies to hold them in place.
  • Add just a drop of water in order to cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Pour the olive oil and season the veggies and potatoes with salt and pepper.
  • Cook for about 1 hour. After the first 20-25 minutes of baking, cover the pan with aluminum foil to prevent veggies from burning on top.

Categories     large plates

Yield makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 23

5 large bell peppers
5 medium-large and firm tomatoes
200 g / 1 rounded cup medium grain rice*
¼ cup (packed) fresh mint, chopped
¼ cup (packed) fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cup capers (in salt not vinegar), roughly chopped
¼ cup sultanas or raisins, roughly chopped
6 tbsp almonds, chopped and toasted
¼ cup / 60 ml / 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, very finely diced
3 large garlic cloves, pressed
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
½ tsp fine sea salt (more if skipping capers)
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
½-¾ tsp hot chilli flakes
¼ cup / 60 ml / 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cups peeled and finely diced tomatoes (2 large tomatoes)
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup water
¼-½ tsp hot chilli flakes
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tsp fine sea salt
a generous grind of black pepper

Steps:

  • Set the oven to 180° C.
  • Wash tomatoes and peppers well. Cut about 1-2 cm off each pepper and tomato and set the tops aside. Make sure you don't cut the peppers too close to the base of the stalk as it may come loose and you want the tops left intact to keep the filling nice and moist.
  • Using a sharp-edged spoon, scoop the inside of the tomatoes, leaving the outer walls intact. Save the scooped-out tomato flesh.
  • Deseed the peppers, breaking the white membranes with your fingers or a small knife.
  • Arrange the hollowed-out tomatoes and peppers snugly on a baking tray (or trays, I had to use two to fit them all in).
  • Season the inside of each vegetable with a pinch of salt, sugar and pepper.
  • Blend or finely dice the insides of the tomatoes to add them to the rice filling.
  • Mix all of the filling ingredients together with the blended tomato flesh and olive oil.
  • Spoon the filling into the vegetables, but be sure not to overfill - the mixture should be roughly level with the cut so that there is room for expansion under the tops. Give the mixture a good stir between filling each vegetable so that you distribute the liquid that drops to the bottom evenly between all vegetables. Put the tops back on.
  • In a mixing jug, combine all of the ingredients for the sauce. Pour the sauce on the bottom of the tray, in amongst the stuffed vegetables.
  • Put the baking tray (or trays) into an oven. After about 1 hour, protect the tops from burning by wrapping a piece of aluminium foil over them. Continue baking for another 30 minutes, until the rice is cooked through. If the rice is still a little hard at the end of the cooking time, leave the veggies in a warm (switched off) oven for another 30 minutes to finish off cooking.
  • Traditionally, yemista is served at room temperature rather than warm, so allow it to cool down before eating. They're best enjoyed with a simple green salad (I use Romaine lettuce, spring onions and cucumber) and some crusty bread.

Looking for a traditional Greek Gemista/ Yemista recipe (stuffed tomatoes and peppers with rice)? Find out how to bake them to perfection with this locally sourced recipe and secret hints and tips!

Provided by Eli K. Giannopoulos

Categories     Main

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 tomatoes
4 green bell peppers (or orange, red or yellow if you prefer them sweet)
1-2 eggplants
5-6 potatoes, cut into wedges
2 red onions, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
500g/ 18 oz. rice (for risotto)
1 tin chopped tomatoes
a small bunch of parsley, chopped
a small bunch of fresh mint, chopped
2 tbsps tomato paste
2 tsps sugar
2 tbsps of butter
salt and freshly ground pepper
olive oil
250 grams (8.8oz) beef mince (optional)

Steps:

  • 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 with as little flesh as possible, 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.
  • In a blender add the flesh of the tomatoes, 5-6 tbsps olive oil, the tomato paste, sugar, season with salt and pepper and mix to combine. Set aside.
  • . 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, 2 cups of water and season with salt and pepper. Let the filling come to a boil. After 5 minutes the stuffing is ready. It doesn't need to cook throughout as it will continue cooking in the oven. Remove the pan from the stove and stir in the fresh herbs and taste and season with some more salt and pepper if needed.
  • 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, until it becomes transculent. Pour in 1 tin chopped tomatoes, 2 cups of water and season with salt and pepper. Let the filling come to a boil. After 5 minutes the stuffing is ready. Remove the pan from the stove and stir in the fresh herbs and taste and season with some more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Peel and chop your potatoes in bite-sized chunks.
  • . Spoon the filling inside the empty vegetables, filling them up by about 2/3rds of the way up. The filling will expand a bit when cooking! Add your potatoes, spreading them out in between the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Finally spoon the filling liquids from step 4 and your sauce from step 3 inside the vegetables until full and pour the remaining in the baking tray. Cover the vegetables with their lids and add 3 cups of water in your baking tray
  • Cover the Gemista with aluminium foil and bake in preheated oven at 180C / 350F 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!

YEMISTA ME RYZI - GREEK STUFFED VEGETABLES (VEGETARIAN)



Yemista Me Ryzi - Greek Stuffed Vegetables (Vegetarian) image

This recipe is for the ever popular stuffed vegetable, but this time there is NO meat involved! This particular recipe comes from Kaliroi Krasanaki & also goes by the name Yemista tis Kalliroi! (Kalliroi's Stuffed Vegetables). This recipe is simple & delicious. Tome to make doesn't include resting time. Posted for ZWT 4.

Provided by Um Safia

Categories     Potato

Time 1h35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large green bell peppers
5 medium zucchini small zucchini
1 small zucchini
3 medium eggplants
1 large potato
5 large ripe tomatoes
1 medium onion, grated
3/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 cups long-grain rice
1 tablespoon long-grain rice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Wash all vegetables well, and peel the potato. Take a large bowl & put on the side to collect the flesh from the veggies.
  • Cut a cap off the top of tomatoes. Using a teaspoon, scoop out tomato pulp and put in a bowl. Set tomatoes and caps aside.
  • Bell peppers: Cut a cap off the top of the peppers, scoop out seeds, and rinse well. Set peppers and caps aside.
  • Potato: cut a thick slice off the potato lengthwise. Scoop out interior of potato and put in the bowl with the other vegetables, leaving a 1/8 inch shell. Set potato and top aside.
  • Eggplants: cut off the top with stem. Using a spoon, scoop out eggplant pulp and add to bowl with other vegetables. Set eggplants and tops aside.
  • Zucchini: trim tops of the 5 large zucchini, and using a spoon handle, scoop out zucchini pulp and add to bowl. Set zucchini and tops aside. Cut the small zucchini into 8 slices and set aside.
  • Using a vegetable grater (or the large grate on a cheese grater), grate all the pulp that was scooped out from the vegetables, as well as the tops of the zucchini and eggplant, and place in a large bowl.
  • Wash the rice, and add to the bowl. Add grated onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and all but 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix well. The stuffing mix will be soupy.
  • Using a teaspoon, fill the vegetables to within 1/2 inch of the top. The rice will expand when cooked so take care not to overfill. Place caps on top, using the zucchini slices for the eggplant and zucchini.
  • Place the vegetables in a 14 x 11 inch (or equivalent) baking or roasting pan. The tomatoes should be placed upright, and the other vegetables should be placed on their sides. They should fit snugly in the pan.
  • There will be a little oil left in the bottom of the bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of water and pour the mixture into the pan with the vegetables. Drizzle the vegetables with the remaining olive oil (2 tablespoons).
  • Place vegetables on the second-lowest position (below the middle) in a cold oven and heat to 480F (250C). When the liquid starts to boil (about 10-15 minutes), reduce heat to 355F (180C) and cook for one hour.
  • Allow the vegetables to sit for 20 minutes before serving. Stuffed vegetables are served warm or at room temperature and are excellent the second day.

  • Slice off the ends of the eggplant (discard tops) in a way that will allow them to stand up in the baking dish. Carve the inside of the eggplant and put it into a bowl.
  • Slice off the tops of the tomatoes and keep them aside for later. These will work as the lids for the Yemista. Carve out the inside but be careful to not carve too much of the inside or else the walls will become too thin.
  • Slice off the tops of the peppers and keep them aside for later. Remove the insides and discard them.
  • Put the baking pan with the vegetables in the oven for them to pre-cook for 10 minutes. Afterwards you take them out and set them aside to cool off.

  • Prepare the vegetables: After choosing your vegetables, find a pan that perfectly fits them. For the vegetables in the pictures, I used a 12 inch in diameter round pan. Rinse all the vegetables, cut off a slice from the top and empty them out using a small spoon or a melon baller. Keep in mind which lid goes to which vegetable.
  • Finely chop or process in a food processor the insides from the peppers (the white stuff without the seeds), the inside of the eggplant, the carrot, and the onions and reserve into a bowl. Process the insides of the tomatoes and reserve into another bowl.
  • Make the filling: Put the olive oil in a large pan and heat over medium/high heat. Add the onions, carrot, eggplant and pepper flesh and cook until soft, about 5-10 minutes. Add the rice, the wine, and the water and cook until almost all the liquids are absorbed. Turn off the heat and add the pureed tomatoes, the raisins, the pine nuts,the parsley, the mint, salt and pepper to taste, the cumin, and the sugar. Stir to combine.

  • Wash your peppers, cut 1-2 cm off the top and keep the tops. Make sure you don't cut too close to the base of the stalk as it may become loose and you want the tops left intact to keep the filling nice and moist. De-seed the peppers and arrange them in a baking tray so that they fit quite snugly - if you don't have enough to fill the tray, make sure you pick peppers that are stable as you don't want them to collapse half-way through the cooking time. Sprinkle a pinch of sugar at the bottom of each pepper.
  • OPTIONAL STEP: You can blitz tomatoes if you don't want to have bits of tomato in your stuffing, I usually chop mine very finely and it does the job. You could also saute your onion and garlic before you incorporate them into the filling.
  • Mix all of the filling ingredients together. Spoon the filling into the peppers, but be sure not to overfill - the mixture should be roughly level with the cut so that there is room for expansion under the tops. Put the tops back on.
