Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Aproximativ 10 min.
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.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Leave a small amount of flesh in the vegetables for structure.
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.
Aproximativ 7 min.
4
Add the garlic to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
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.
Aproximativ 2 min.
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.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Don't overfill, or the rice will be undercooked.
7
Place the potato quarters around the stuffed vegetables in the baking dish.
Aproximativ 2 min.
8
Pour the vegetable broth and water into the bottom of the baking dish.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: The liquid helps steam the vegetables and cook the rice.
9
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes.
Aproximativ 1 oră
Nota bucătarului: The foil traps steam, ensuring the rice cooks evenly.
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.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: The last 15 minutes allow the vegetables to brown slightly.
11
Let the yemistes rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Resting allows the flavors to meld and the rice to set.
