    Noin 10 min

  2. 2

    Prepare the vegetables: halve and seed the bell peppers, cut the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the pulp (reserve pulp), and cut zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp. Arrange the hollowed-out vegetables in a large baking dish.

    Noin 10 min

    Kokin vinkki: Leave a small amount of flesh in the vegetables for structure.

  3. 3

    For the filling, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

    Noin 7 min

  4. 4

    Add the garlic to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Noin 1 min

    Kokin vinkki: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  5. 5

    Stir in the rinsed short grain rice, chopped tomato pulp, fresh parsley, fresh mint, remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

    Noin 2 min

  6. 6

    Carefully spoon the rice filling into each hollowed-out vegetable, filling them about two-thirds full to allow space for the rice to expand.

    Noin 5 min

    Kokin vinkki: Don't overfill, or the rice will be undercooked.

  7. 7

    Place the potato quarters around the stuffed vegetables in the baking dish.

    Noin 2 min

  8. 8

    Pour the vegetable broth and water into the bottom of the baking dish.

    Noin 1 min

    Kokin vinkki: The liquid helps steam the vegetables and cook the rice.

  9. 9

    Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes.

    Noin 1 t

    Kokin vinkki: The foil traps steam, ensuring the rice cooks evenly.

  10. 10

    Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the rice is fully cooked and fluffy.

    Noin 15 min

    Kokin vinkki: The last 15 minutes allow the vegetables to brown slightly.

  11. 11

    Let the yemistes rest for 10 minutes before serving.

    Noin 10 min

    Kokin vinkki: Resting allows the flavors to meld and the rice to set.
