His: stuffed bell peppers (gemista) with potatoes and green beans.
These are stuffed with a mixture of minced beef, red lentils and rice cooked with onions, garlic, carrots, tomatoes and herbs.
Γεμιστά σε παραδοσιακό φούρνο
This beloved vegetarian summer dish is as filling as it is refreshing. Here's the recipe from renowned chef Christoforos Pescias, complete with all his secrets.
Γεμιστά. (Gemista) means filled (vegetables) and it's one of the most easy and traditional food you can eat in Greece. Although my mother always put mashed meat inside the rice my girlfriend made a different recipe from the Greeks of Minor Asia which instead of meat they put raisins. The outcome is fantastic and one of the most tasty foods you can eat through out the year. #mediterraneanfood #gemista #raisins #peppers #tomatoes #vegetables #greek #foodporn #food https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFtMFBHem9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lwvqy00v3094
My utterly non-authentic, but tasty, “gemista” - stuffed vegetables.
Sauté finely diced onion, carrot and celery with crushed garlic, finely chopped parsley and red chilli. Then add lean minced beef to the pan and sauté until browned. Add a squeeze of tomato purée, a sprinkle of dried oregano and another of dried chipotle chillis and mix well. Add tinned, chopped tomatoes, a couple of roughly chopped fresh tomatoes (to add a bit of variety in texture) and a pinch of sugar. Let simmer until cooked through and thickened slightly. On this occasion, I then added a mix of cooked brown rice and quinoa, but I sometimes add cooked lentils, other grains or beans… plenty of options, here.
I kept aside half the mixture to freeze and will serve another time with spaghetti or mashed sweet or white potato.
The rest, I piled into the hollows of seeded bell peppers and large tomatoes and baked for 30 mins at 190 Celsius.
Enjoy!
Mama’s gemista 😍 She makes them with just seasoned rice, herbs and currants for me as I’m not keen in the meaty version 😋
