GEMISTA
Stuffed tomatoes with potatoes. This is an adopted recipe. I have tried to edit it so the ingredients and directions are clearer. I don't used rice, rather I soak bulgur and replace the rice with that. If there are questions, please zmail me or post in Cooking Q&A in the forums. Thanks!

Steps:
- Oil a 13 x 5 inch baking pan. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place the olive oil into a pot on medium heat.
- Add the sliced onion, stirring unti lightly browned.
- Add the meat, stirring until brown.
- If you are adding cheese, stir it in now.
- Cut the top off each tomato and set "lid" aside. (Make sure you keep the lids.).
- Carefully scoop out tomatoes.
- Put the tomato insides in a blender and pulse once or twice to juice. (Alternatively, they can be grated.).
- Put half the reserved tomato juice, the rice or bulgur, and the mint in the pot with the meat/onion mixture, stir to blend.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Allow this mixture to stand 5 minutes.
- Carefully fill each tomato with the meat/onion mixture. The total amount will vary according to the size of the tomatoes, but a 3" tomato will take 3 1/2 to 4 tablespoons.
- Place tomatoes in the baking pan and cover each with a "lid.".
- Place the potato pieces in the spaces between the tomatoes, poking them down around and between the tomatoes.
- Combine the remaining tomato juice with 1/8 cup olive oil. Pour this mixture around the vegetables in the pan. (If you have less than 3-4 tablespoons of tomato juice left, add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste.). Stick the garlic around in the liquid.
- Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for an hour. Check the vegetables at this time to see if the tops are burning. If so, you could cover the pan with foil or drizzle some additional olive oil over the veg.
- Continue baking for another 30 minutes to an hour, until potatoes are tender. Turn oven off and allow dish to sit for 15 minutes to cool slightly.
- Remove from oven and set aside at room temperature for another 15 minutes.
- I like the remaining juice drizzled over my vegetables and usually use the cheese, as well.
- Add pine nuts or almonds if you like those.

Steps:
- Cut off tops of tomatoes (retain tops) and carefully scoop out flesh (retain this as well).
- Cut off tops of peppers (retain tops) and remove seeds and membrane.
- Place tomatoes and peppers in a pan large enough to hold them comfortably and give each veg a tiny dash of sugar with the tips of your fingertips (I really think this is important!).
- Take tomato flesh and process it until pureed.
- Add olive oil, rice, onion, garlic, mint, parsley, nuts, cheese, sultanas, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper (or season to taste).
- Stuff the vegetables evenly with this mixture.
- Replace tops of tomatoes and peppers.
- Combine 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup olive oil with a scant tablespoonful of tomato paste and a little salt and pepper and pour this around the veg.
- Bake in a preheated 375F oven (180C) for approx 1 3/4 hours (vegetables should pierce easily and be slightly blackened in parts).
- Turn off oven and leave in for another hour to'mellow' before serving.
- This is best served slightly warm or at room temperature.
- It is wonderful eaten along with little bites of feta cheese and a cool glass of white or rose.
- It will also have yummy juices begging to be mopped up with bits of crusty bread.
- In my version, I also take 3-4 medium-sized potatoes, cut them into big wedges, toss in a little olive oil with salt and pepper to taste, and'plant' in the spaces amidst the vegetables.
- That way you can have a couple of wedges of potato too.

- To prepare this delicious Greek stuffed tomatoes recipe, start by washing thoroughly your vegetables. Slice off the top of the tomatoes; using a spoon remove the flesh of the tomatoes and keep it in a bowl. (The flesh of the tomatoes will be the base for the tomato sauce for the Gemista.) Slice off the top of the eggplants and remove the flesh, using a spoon. Cut the flesh of the eggplants in small cubes and set aside, as you will use them later for the filling of the Gemista. Slice off the top of the peppers and remove the seeds and white parts from the inside. Place the empty vegetables on a large baking tray. Try to leave the vegetables as thin as possible, leaving just a little of the flesh, but be careful not to poke through their skin. Season the empty vegetables with a pinch of salt and sugar and add a little butter on the bottom of each one.
- Prepare the sauce for the Gemista. In a blender add the flesh of the tomatoes, 5-6 tbsps olive oil, the tomato paste, sugar, season with salt and pepper and mix to combine. Set aside.
- Prepare the filling for the Gemista. In a saucepan add some olive oil and sauté the onions, until translucent. Chop the zucchini in small cubes, add in the saucepan and sauté for one more minute. At the end add the flesh of the eggplants (chopped) and the chopped garlic and sauté, until softened. Add the rice and continue sautéing, unit it becomes transculent. Pour in 1 tin chopped tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. As soon as the liquid has been absorbed, the stuffing is ready. Remove the pan from the stove and stir in the fresh herbs.
- If you prefer your gemista spiced up with some meat, try sizzling 250grams (8.8oz) of ground beef with the onions in the step above. Once the beef juices have been absorbed and the meat is done, chop the zucchini in small cubes, add in the saucepan and sauté for one more minute. At the end add the flesh of the eggplants (chopped) and the chopped garlic and sauté, until softened. Add the rice and continue sautéing, until it becomes transculent. Pour in 1 tin chopped tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. As soon as the liquid has been absorbed, the stuffing is ready. Remove the pan from the stove and stir in the fresh herbs
