Tomatoes and peppers
Looking back to summer. That's not long ago. A week?
The rains finally started and so winter-autumn? began. Autumn I'd say. It's still not cold and until the rain set in the beach bars were open and holiday makers were swimming.
Over the last few days the earth has finally had a really good drenching. Olive and lemon trees have perked up and that lush green clover has appeared seemingly overnight.
Before all these changes we had the grandkids here for an overnighter. The next morning they made pancakes and nutella, heaps of toast and marmite and then took over the preparation for lunch.
Hollowing out tomatoes wasn't the best part of it but cleaning the green peppers was ok
Per Papou's instructions a grated zucchini was added to the mixture. He overlooks all activities in this house.
He got the idea from an old lady who used to cook for her taverna. There was too much stuffing and it didn't add to the taste or texture. It won't be repeated, by me at least. His mother didn't do it, why should I.
Happy, happy. Tomatoes and peppers stuffed and ready for the oven.
The girls look so beautiful and happy, and I'm sure the stuffed came out delicious too.
ReplyDeleteThey enjoyed themselves cooking. Made it into a game. And the stuffed veges were very tasty.
DeleteLooks like they enjoyed themselves too.
ReplyDeleteHappy girls. No moody teens there thank goodness
DeleteSounds a really healthy meal. Can you spice it up with a spicy sauce? I love spicy food.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to spice em up but it wouldn't be traditional. The best I could do would be to accidently overdo it with the pepper pot
DeleteAdding the zucchini would be great for keeping the cost down in a taverna and making the whole thing go further
ReplyDeleteI used to add all sorts of veggies in when my children were little but now I make keto friendly meals. So i only stick to low carb no rice for instance
No matter how you make them yemista are always a hit
Zucchini is supposed to make them juicier. I don't think it made a difference . But a great way to get in another Vege!
DeleteGood to see such happy grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteThe cousins all get on well together too
