Stuffed Vegetables



Baked Stuffed Tomatoes

There is a variety of ways to cook vegetables: steamed, fried, and baked, they are better with sauce or dressing, such as steamed broccoli served with butter and herbs sauce.  Another method that I do to make the vegetables taste delicious is stuffed them up with flavoursome filling. 

The stuffed capsicum

Tomato, mushroom, capsicum, cabbage, zucchini, eggplants stuffed with meat and other ingredients or stuffed with vegetarian filling.

The Recipe for the Stuffing

Stuffing for Baked Vegetables

1/2 cup duxelles mushrooms

1/2 cup long grain rice

The flesh and the inside of the tomato

1 shallot, chopped finely

1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (basil, oregano and mint)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

Sauté the mushroom with the oil in a hot frying pan until cooked

Add in the shallots and the herbs, stir then add in the inside of the tomato

Cook for a few minutes, the mixture should be a little wet

Add in 2 tablespoons of water, then add in the rice, stir

Continue cooking until the liquid is absorbed, and the rice is almost cooked

Take it off the stove and keep aside to cool

To stuff the vegetables

Fill the cavities of those vegetables with the filling almost to the top,

- give allowance to the rice to swell when it's cooked

To Bake

Place the stuffed vegetables on a casserole dish

Drizzle with extra oil, add 1/2 cup water

Cover the casserole dish

Bake in the preheated hot oven at 175 degrees C for 37 minutes

Serve warm or room temperature.
