Greek stuffed tomatoes & peppers "Yemista".

It is not possible to talk about tomatoes and Greek food without mentioning “Yemista”. "Gemista" pronounced "yemista" translates as “ones that are filled”.

These are vegetables usually tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini and eggplant filled with rice (sometimes with ground meat) and baked in the oven.

If you’ve ever been to Greece, I’m sure the Greeks did not let you leave without trying yemista or dolmades first. They are hospitable like that!

Ingredients:

- 250 grams minced meat ( beef-lamb-pork) I personally prefer mix of beef & pork.
