Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

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.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

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.

Time 2h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3 firm and ripe tomatoes
3 green peppers
2 small eggplants
2 medium zucchini
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, chopped
2 potatoes
14 tablespoons long grain rice
1/2 cup parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons dried spearmint (fresh is even better)
1 cup water
3/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
salt
pepper

Steps:

Cut off tops of tomatoes (retain them) and scoop out the pulp (retaining as well). Cut off tops of peppers and remove seeds (retain tops). Cut lengthwise the eggplants and with a spoon scoop out the pulp retaining as well. Cut the end of zucchini and also scoop out the pulp, retaining.
Place the vegetables in a pan packed closely but not squashed.
Take the pulp of all the vegetables and process it until pureed. Add in a bowl the rice,the vegetable puree, half of the olive oil, the garlic, the onion, the parsley, the spearmint, the salt and pepper. Mix using a spoon.
Stuff all the vegetables and place the tops of tomatoes and peppers.
Cut the potatoes to byte pieces and spread them between the vegetables.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs, salt again the vegetables and add the rest of olive oil. Combine 1 cup of water.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (180°C) for approx 1.5 hour.
If you have leftover filling, add in the pan and put on the top some diced tomato. Its the best! I usually make more filling in order to have many plain rice!
