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

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

Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes.
Približno 1 h

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the rice is fully cooked and fluffy.
Približno 15 min
Kuharjeva opomba: The last 15 minutes allow the vegetables to brown slightly.

Let the yemistes rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Približno 10 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Resting allows the flavors to meld and the rice to set.
