Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Yaklaşık 10 dk.

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.
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
Aşçının notu: 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.
Yaklaşık 7 dk.
- 4
Add the garlic to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

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.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
- 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.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Don't overfill, or the rice will be undercooked.
- 7
Place the potato quarters around the stuffed vegetables in the baking dish.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
- 8
Pour the vegetable broth and water into the bottom of the baking dish.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: The liquid helps steam the vegetables and cook the rice.
- 9
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes.
Yaklaşık 1 sa.
Aşçının notu: 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.
Yaklaşık 15 dk.
Aşçının notu: The last 15 minutes allow the vegetables to brown slightly.
- 11
Let the yemistes rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
Aşçının notu: Resting allows the flavors to meld and the rice to set.
