Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a large baking dish.

    Aproximativ 10 min.

  2. 2

    Wash the tomatoes and bell peppers. For each tomato, carefully slice off the top and scoop out the pulp and seeds using a spoon. Reserve the tomato pulp. For each bell pepper, slice off the top, remove the core and seeds.

    Aproximativ 10 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Be gentle when scooping the tomatoes to keep the skins intact.

  3. 3

    Finely chop the reserved tomato pulp. In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomato pulp, onion, garlic, rice, parsley, mint, olive oil for the filling, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

    Aproximativ 10 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Massage the filling ingredients together with your hands to ensure even distribution of flavors.

  4. 4

    Carefully stuff each tomato and bell pepper with the rice mixture, filling them about two-thirds full to allow the rice to expand during cooking. Place the stuffed vegetables in the prepared baking dish.

    Aproximativ 5 min.

  5. 5

    Arrange the quartered potatoes around the stuffed vegetables in the baking dish.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

  6. 6

    Pour the vegetable broth and the remaining olive oil over the vegetables and potatoes in the baking dish.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  7. 7

    Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.

  8. 8

    Bake for 60 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the rice is fully cooked.

    Aproximativ 1 oră 30 min.

    Nota bucătarului: The tops of the vegetables should be slightly caramelized and the rice should be fluffy.

  9. 9

    Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

    Aproximativ 2 min.
