Stuffed Tomatoes (& peppers) “Gemista”

Serves 6

  • 6 medium tomatoes

  • 1 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Parsley (diced)
  • Bread crumbs

Slice-off the top of the tomatoes (& peppers) and carve-out the inside. Save the "carvings", mash it and mix it with the rice, onion, parsley, salt & pepper and half the oil. Stuff the tomatoes (& peppers) and lid them with their previously sliced-off tops and place them in a pan. Top with the tomato-juice, bread-crumbs and the rest of the olive-oil and bake in a medium oven for about 1 1/2 hour.
