Gemista 🇬🇷 Greek Stuffed Vegetables (Tomatoes, Peppers, and Potatoes)
The name of this recipe, Gemista, means "stuffed" in Greek.
When I was little, once summer came, I would ask my mother to make Gemista. I love eating them cold, accompanied by feta cheese.
I fill half of the pot with meatless Gemista ("orphans" as we say in Greece) and the other half with meat. ~Ele

Cooking Instructions

Clean the vegetables.

Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds.

Cut the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.

Put the flesh from all the tomatoes in a bowl. Blend it with the two remaining whole tomatoes to make a puree. Return the result to the bowl.

Place the vegetables to be stuffed in the pot next to their tops. Sprinkle 1 tsp of sugar over each vegetable.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. (1 medium potato per serving.)

Pour olive oil into a pan and sauté the cubes a bit until they are golden. Once golden, place them between the vegetables in the pot.

In the oil from the potatoes, sauté the onion for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and sugar and sauté for 2 minutes.

Greek Giant Beans (Gigantes Plaki) 🇬🇷 Greek Giant Beans (Gigantes Plaki) 🇬🇷
Greek giant beans (γίγαντες πλακί, or gigantes plaki) we’re introduced to me by my sister-in-law‘s husband‘s Greek family. This dish has a wonderful flavor and is very hearty. You can serve it as a main dish or a side dish, and you can dress it up with additional vegetables. Each Greek family seems to have their own special recipe.This version is relatively simple.Keep in mind that you have to plan ahead a little bit for this dish, since you’ll be soaking the beans overnight, simmering them for a while, then finally baking them. All the time and effort is worth it, trust me!#Vegetarian #Vegan #Vegetables #SideDish #GlutenFree #DairyFree

Greek Style Couscous Stuffed Peppers Greek Style Couscous Stuffed Peppers
I made these for me and my boyfriend for dinner, went down a treat! I would say 2 peppers each was too much, so next time I'll do 1.5 each (half red, half yellow, and half orange). Great with Ainsley Harriet's Spicy Couscous if you can find it!

Dolmadakia Stuffed Grape/Vine Leaves Dolmadakia Stuffed Grape/Vine Leaves
Hello, I hope all is well, and you all enjoyed your long weekend. Sunday, was the first day we BBQ for the year, it was great!!! The weather was nice, so we took out the bbq and starting our preparations. My hubby really does a great job grilling. 🙂 He has his own little secrets when it comes to basting the meat before placing on the grill, I don’t get involved when it comes to grilling, seeing that he truly enjoys doing it, and he does do a great job, and believe you me it tastes fantastic. Yummyyyyy.So, to accompany our Wine, and Ouzo I made some appetizers, Dolmadakia. It really does not get any more traditional than this, seriously….. I have never actually seen anyone not use their fingers to grab one of these delicious little green stuffed with rice leaves. This is why I like to call them Finger Food…..whenever a plate of these appetizers even comes close to landing on any table, you can see how everyone just tries desperately to grab one. It’s like once everyone sees them coming it’s race on!!!A truly loved appetizer dish, along with Tzatziki, Taramosalata, Tyrosalata, Fried Zucchini, Fried Eggplants, Calamaria and the list just goes on and on. I forgot to add French Fries an absolute must! 🙂 -
