Gemista (Stuffed Tomatoes and Peppers)
Tomatoes and bell peppers hollowed and stuffed with herbed rice, baked with olive oil until the tops char.
Why It Works
The tomato pulp is mixed into the rice filling, so the vegetable seasons itself from inside. Generous olive oil crisps the tops while the vegetables collapse and sweeten.
