Hello everyone !! I had bought tons of veggies last Saturday from the farmers market , so as soon as I got home I rolled up my sleeves and started to make my favorite dish which is stuffed veggies . I chopped a small bunch of parsley,2 med.onions,about half a pound of ground beef and then I counted how many veggies I have to fill a Greek lady once told me you put in one level tbsp. of rice for each veggie so I counted and measured like a good girl and added my salt and pepper and stuck it in the fridge and then I washed the veggies I used ripe tomatoes,eggplant and bell peppers I put them in a big round pan and took it with me to the living room and hollowed them out while watching T.V.after hollowing out the tomatoes I put the insides of the tomatoes that I hallowed out in the processor and through it in the bowl with the other ingredients .
And here they are I also put In the pan zucchini , but I didn't hollow them out it's to difficult ,but I choose small one's and place them between the others and I slice potatoes they taste so good.
I mix all the ingredients and fill the veggies using a tablespoon, not all the way cause the rice needs room to cook.
Then in a bowl I grate some tomatoes add about half a cup olive oil , salt and pepper about a cup of water and pour it over the the veggies , but first you should sprinkle salt and pepper on top of the veggies and the potatoes alone before putting them in the pan because they are sort of concealed. I have one of the bell peppers not covered so to see how much I fill them.
And I baked for over an hour and a half or so depending on your oven . I also place a piece of aluminum foil on top of it so the steam will go on top of the veggies and that way they will bake also on top It was yummy . I like this dish so much it can be also vegetarian you can increase the onions and parsley and use the inside of the eggplant a bit more rice etc. I normally don't use ground beef this time I did it's just as tasty without, some people put in raisins in the vegetarian way and it is yummy gives a nice twist ,but the men in my family don't like it . I should just make things for myself sometimes. let me know if anybody has made it before,tried it or has any questions. So long for now.
