I thought I was the only one on the planet who eats savory dishes for breakfast. Sounds good to me! And thanks for keeping your videos a little shorter.... I watch a lot of youtube and if a video is too long to begin with I skip on by.... who has time? Thank you!

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.
This looks mouth watering. I've got my bell peppers and all of the ingredients and I will be making this recipe today. I'm so looking forward to this dish. It's a very cold day on the other side of the world today so switching on the oven will warm up my home and fill it with these wonderful greek cooking aromas. Thank you dimitra. Love ur recipes
Thank you sweet Dimitroula mou! I'm gonna make these as soon as I get my free veggies from the pantries where I live. Stay safe and enjoy your long weekend of Labor Day.
Dimitra I just made Gemista for the first time and it turned out sooo so good!! Thank you for a great recipe! I substituted ground beef for vegetarian mincemeat and it turned out delicious. I love the Greek islands and miss all the yummy food now that we haven’t been able to travel for a while 😊
I'm so excited.... I've watched this video enough so I'm going to make this dish either tonight or tomorrow! It depends on my energy.... I've been quite ill 🤒. You have inspired me so much. Thank you 💗. Your recipes are giving me a new lease on ideas... my limitations on what the doctors will allow me to eat.
Everything you make is fantastic, I’m learning a lot if recipes from your channel. I appreciate that you are very descriptive on your videos. thank you hun ❤️
Dimetra ~ Let's go to Greece! Walk the Placka, sample everything! Thank you for all you do! These stuffed, delectable morsels are fabulius! Love the tomato quarters nestled in between! THANK YOU!!! ♡♡♡
@@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 ♡
Walked the Plaka not too long ago, asked those pushy waiters if they served gemista, only to be told 'όχι' with disdain. I found it hard to find good, traditional gemista.
"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 👍 😊
Hello Dimitra Thanks for this video. During the holidays I add also raisins and pine kernels in the stuffing. But i always discover something new through your videos. Kales giortes. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪.
Hi Dimitra, I'm new to your channel, wow, what delicious recipes! I appreciate that you use simple, natural ingredients, "normal" foods. I just wish I would have found your channel earlier🌸
Pouring sauce over the veggies is definitely a great idea to make them soft. I have followed other recipes of stuffed peppers that is baked in the oven without any sauce and the peppers remain crunchy. Dimitra, you should audition for a TV show, seriously ☺️☺️
My Yiayia used to make this all the time, now I wanna try. I have a request, could you show us how to make the Greek cookie mostokouloura? I can't find any videos online in English. Thanks!
Why not put the eggplant pulp alongside the potatoes when roasting. Isn't 1 1/2 hrs in the oven an extremely long time especially since the filling has already been partially cooked?
This is one dish I make often, but the lazy way. I just add everything raw, stuff the vegetables, cook at low setting for about to an hour, and skip the sauce.
I think the link to the pan the veggies are being placed in this video is not the correct link. Looks like the link is to a regular half sheet pan which is not deep enough. Can you clarify please? Thank you
Love your channel! Question for you. In your original video, you add 2 cups of water to the 1 cup of rice. In this new video, you SAY that you add ONE cup of water to the one cup of rice. However, the written recipe in both videos say 2 cups of water. Please clarify.
Did I catch a piece of parchment under the foil? I cook all my food in the oven like that. I dont know ANYONE else who does that. I know some Chefs do it when cooking highly acidic foods.
Wow! Thank you for the tip of the parchment paper. I have an issue of the foil touching the food and rusting or dissolving on the food. I LOVE that idea of protecting the food with parchment paper under the foiL
What would the Greeks/Italians/Turks/Indians be without Peppers and Tomatoes.. thank your local Indigenous person from the Americas.. like your friendly Aztec/Inca 😜😂🌞🤘🏽
This is the closest to my Albanian mother’s recipe, which I never got. Thank you so very much! My children and family are LOVING this!!!❤❤❤❤
I made this and sent it to a neighbor. OMG! They loved it so much!!!
My Yiayia use to make this yummy 💜

You are not alone!

Great and delicious looking! Thanks for the share. Having this for a luncheon
Very nice
This was delicious! My mother always added pieces of kefalograviera in between the veggies.
My favourite meal! Thank you for your recipe 😍
I love Gemista too...I add the eggplant filling to the meat & rice mixture along with sultanas & toasted pine nuts so yummy! Give it a try 😜💖
Sounds delicious!!

@@HenkStuurboordavoid the tourist areas!
My mother makes the best and tastiest Gemista! Very Similar to yours Dimitra it’s like my favourite 💙
Reminds me of when i was little!! Can't wait to make it for my family! Thank you
Thank you, Dimitra!! I made it tonight for my family for the weekend.

LOL! It's fair to say that I've already shared a vegetarian recipe :)
@@DimitrasDishes There was a whole flame war on Greek Twitter over he whole meat Vs no meat issue a few months back. LOL
@@teacherdude My grandma's rule was clear: no meat except for peppers or grape leaves in winter and for zucchini and cabbage.

“What!? You’re vegetarian… it’s alright, we make a lamb”
looks tasty i cant wait to make it
Your cooking is so traditional
I loved the new format for this video 💖 very easy to follow💕
Yay!! We're testing it out and glad to have positive feedback :)
Beautiful, thank you 👏👏👏❤😃🤗🥰❤❤❤

Yummy and I love rice pudding!

lol! DO you know anyone @FoodNetwork? haha!
Thank you again for another delicious recipe. I will definitely make it this week. 👏🏻👏🏻💐
Enjoy it!
Great just cooking this. Yiammas
I was planning gemista based on your old video for Monday. I already have all I need. I am thinking of also trying some vegetarian ones this Spring.
Nice! Spring is on the way for you, isn't it? We're looking forward to some cooler fall weather over here in the States. Regards to your sweet family!
Thanks. I’m so making this.
Beautiful thank you 😢
Thank you too!
Good one.
I am from india
Salut chef.hummmmmh la recette est superbe.
Yummy 👍😀
My Yiayia used to make this all the time, now I wanna try. I have a request, could you show us how to make the Greek cookie mostokouloura? I can't find any videos online in English. Thanks!
Hi. Can I use russet potatoes? What kind did you use in your recipe?
I really enjoy your making your recipes.
Why not put the eggplant pulp alongside the potatoes when roasting.
Isn't 1 1/2 hrs in the oven an extremely long time especially since the filling has already been partially cooked?
Dimitra, Can we make gemista in the slow-cooker? Gemista with meat and rice are my favorite but I wanted to know if it can be adapted for a crockpot!
I'll test it and if it works, I'll share my recipe on here :)
Just wondering why you didn't scoop out the eggplant, chop it up and fry that up along with the onions?
This is one dish I make often, but the lazy way. I just add everything raw, stuff the vegetables, cook at low setting for about to an hour, and skip the sauce.
If I do ground turkey you don’t think it would get dried out do you?
I think the link to the pan the veggies are being placed in this video is not the correct link. Looks like the link is to a regular half sheet pan which is not deep enough. Can you clarify please? Thank you
Love your channel! Question for you. In your original video, you add 2 cups of water to the 1 cup of rice. In this new video, you SAY that you add ONE cup of water to the one cup of rice. However, the written recipe in both videos say 2 cups of water. Please clarify.
I’ll correct the written recipe to state 1 cup of water. Sorry about that and thanks so much for being here 😃
@@DimitrasDishes Thank you so much for your prompt reply. You are the best ❤️

Yes, I always put parchment under the foil. Good catch and I will mention it next time :)

This was going great till you poured that tomato sauce on it. Not my cup of tea, but, to each their own. Love hyour channel!
Keep it up! Yiasas!
Where is the recipe please 🙏
How about Zucchini?
What with the tomatoe sauce? Too fast
Димитра защо не говориш гръцки език
Potatoes don't get cooked and also the vegetables because of the tomatoes and it takes 3 to 4 hours yet the vegetables are raw not cooked
Now I know....I have to marry a woman from Greece.
1 cup of olive oil? Really?
What would the Greeks/Italians/Turks/Indians be without Peppers and Tomatoes.. thank your local Indigenous person from the Americas.. like your friendly Aztec/Inca 😜😂🌞🤘🏽
SPEAK. Lady.
