    Looks so delicious.
    Here in Egypt we usually fill red, green, yellow bell pepper and also eggplant with a mixture of rice, tomatoes, parsley and dill.. served with Molokya and meat.
    Have also seen your rice pudding, it's amazing.

      @@DimitrasDishes It's a great goal for 9 months from now......it's perfect timing actually. The magic is to stay at least a month, not get there then turn around and come home (as you well know) We go to Rome first, for a week, then fly to southern Italy to Brindisi.....take the ferry boat at midnight (sleep for the 6 hours) at 6am we arrive in Corfu, Greece, stay for 2 weeks....travel and eat our way around the islands......then fly to Athens.....after a month, fly Athens to Detroit, MI. It's an unbelievable trip. Family in Rome, Corfu and Athens. See you there in 9 months, Dimetra. Your timing couldn't be more perfect ♡

    "Add ground beef" so sparking off a new Greek civil war. Just joking but meat vs no meat 'gemista' is a great way to get Greeks on social media to start arguing. personally, I prefer without as the meat can be used in so many other dishes and stuffed veggies are great on their own

      I think both are just as tasty. It depends if you want to serve this dish as a side dish to a meat entry dish, or as a main dish. I'm going for the main dish appeal so I am going to make it with meat so it is more filling. Serve it with some honey roasted carrots and more potatoes and feta cheese, and more rice? Its sooooo good 👍 😊
