Gemista: Greek Stuffed Tomatoes & Peppers Classic Comfort Food
Показать описание
Gemista, pronounced: ye-meesta is another classic Greek dish enjoyed all year round. It is a comforting, hearty dish in the winter and a perfect way to use all of the extra tomatoes, bell peppers, and zucchini flowers that are growing in the garden in the summer.
Ingredients
6 medium tomatoes
5 large bell peppers
4-6 potatoes, peeled and sliced into
wedges
For the stuffing:
1 pound ground beef
1 cup basmati rice
2 medium onions, finely
chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, grated
1 (16 ounces) can tomatoes, pureed
1 cup olive oil
2 cups of water
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Salt (about 3 teaspoons)
Black pepper, to taste
3-4 tablespoons chopped fresh
parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried dill or basil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 °F, 200 °C.
Cut and save the tops of the tomatoes and bell peppers. Remove pulp from inside the tomatoes and reserve. Remove seeds from the bell peppers.
Make the stuffing:
Add the canned tomatoes and the tomato pulp into a blender and puree until smooth.
Cook onions in ¾ cup of olive oil until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and warm through for a few seconds.
Add ground beef and break it up while browning a bit. Add canned tomato puree, ¾ teaspoons salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and cook approximately 15 minutes.
Add rice, 2 cups of water, and a teaspoon of salt and cook for 6-8 minutes on medium-high heat. Do not overcook rice because it will continue to cook in the oven!) Remove from heat and add herbs. Mix well and allow to cool slightly.
Assemble the dish:
Sprinkle a little bit of sugar inside the tomatoes to cut the acidity.
Sprinkle some olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper over the potatoes.
Arrange the vegetables in a baking dish with the potatoes in between.
Fill the tomatoes and bell peppers with the beef and rice filling no more than ¾ full. The rice will expand more while cooking in the oven. Place the veggie tops overfilling.
Mix in ¼ cup olive oil and ¼ teaspoon dried oregano along with salt and pepper to the remaining tomato puree.
Pour the tomato sauce with seasoning over potatoes. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
Drizzle a little more olive oil over the tops of the tomatoes and bell peppers.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour or until the vegetables are nice and soft.
Remove foil covering and raise the temperature to 425 °F, 220 °C. Cook about 30-45 minutes more until the veggies get slightly charred on top and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Allow to cool before serving. These taste even better the next day! Enjoy!!
