👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Prepare the vegetables: Core tomatoes, cut off tops of peppers, and halve/hollow out zucchini and eggplants. Reserve the scooped-out flesh from tomatoes and eggplants to chop and add to the filling if desired.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the rinsed rice, chopped parsley, chopped mint, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, tomato paste, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- 3
Stuff the prepared vegetables with the rice mixture, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for expansion during cooking.
- 4
Arrange the stuffed vegetables snugly in a large, deep baking dish. You can place any remaining scooped-out vegetable flesh around them.
- 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the water or vegetable broth with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Pour this liquid around the vegetables in the baking dish.
- 6
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- 7
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 60-75 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the rice is fully cooked. Check halfway through and add more liquid if the dish seems dry.
- 8
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, drizzled with extra olive oil and lemon juice if desired.
💡 專業提示
- ✓Don't overstuff the vegetables, as the rice will expand.
- ✓If using eggplants, you can salt them after hollowing and let them sit for 30 minutes to draw out bitterness, then rinse and pat dry.
- ✓The scooped-out tomato and eggplant flesh can be finely chopped and added to the rice filling for extra flavor and texture.
