Categories     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 tomatoes (ripe but firm large tomatoes)
3 Green bell peppers
4 yukon gold potatoes (cut in wedges. I like to leave the skin on, it's very tasty :-))
2 medium onions (finely chopped)
1 cup extra virgin olive oil (in total)
14 oz tomatoes (chopped)
1 cup long grain white rice
1 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
1 cup fresh mint (chopped)
5 tablespoon pine nuts (optional)
5 teaspoon raisins (optional)
½ cup breadcrumbs
⅓ cup sugar (total, you might not use all of it.)
Greek dry oregano
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
Greek feta cheese (optional)
crusty bread (optional)

Steps:

  • Remove all tomato stems.Using a sharp slice off the bottom side of the tomatoes, cut about 1/8 of an inch or even less if you can. Save the little cap on the side.
  • Very carefully scoop out the flesh, making sure you do not rip the tomato skin. Place the tomato flesh in a separate bowl and set it aside. Sprinkle each tomato with a little sugar and sea salt and turn them upside down to release their juices while you clean the peppers.
  • Using again the sharp knife slice the bottom of the bell peppers, cut about 1/4 inch this time. Save the little pepper cap on the side.
  • Very carefully remove the bell pepper flesh, rinse each underwater if you have to remove any seeds; make sure it's all clean, and no seeds are left inside.
  • As you finish scooping up and cleaning each vegetable place it in your large baking pan, open side up. Cover each tomato and pepper with their little caps.

  • Rinse the rice well, place in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for 15 to 20 minutes until you are easily able to break one grain of rice between your fingertips. Drain.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil and heat until just shimmering but not smoking. Add chopped onions (but not the sliced onions) and garlic, toss briefly until fragrant (do not brown the onions and garlic.) Add the ground meat, season with salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, allspice and nutmeg. Cook the meat for about 5 minutes or until fully browned and cooked through (use a wooden spoon to break the meat apart to avoid large chunks.)
  • When meat is fully browned, add drained rice it to the meat mixture in the skillet. Add crushed tomatoes, white wine, and water (a pinch of salt if you like.) Bring the saucy mixture to a boil, turn the heat down and let simmer for for just 10 minutes or so (the simmering is an optional step, but it is helpful to get the rice cooking a little bit.) When ready, stir in the fresh herbs. Season with kosher salt to taste.
