πιπεριές γεμιστές με καλαμαράκια

The regulars of Crete and Greece know the gemista dish well, ie stuffed peppers, zucchini or tomatoes. This great tasty dish can be prepared both in the vegetarian version and with meat. In both cases it is just as delicious.

Recently, having some peppers and some calamari in excess, we started looking for a recipe for a dish, in which both of these ingredients can be used. As usually happens with us, in the first place we searched the Greek cookbooks. And bingo! We found an idea in the impressive book Vefa's kitchen for peppers stuffed with calamari and rice. It turned out that this is a slightly less conventional approach to making a traditional gemist :)

This dish will appeal to seafood lovers, because the squid flavor is quite clearly above the rest of the ingredients. However, if someone is cooking and tasting is not on the way with seafood, let it be better with the veg version of the gemist :)

1. Clean one pepper and cut into small cubes. Finches and garlic finely chop. Preheat some of the oil in the pan and fry these ingredients for about 5 minutes. Then add the rice and cook it over a high heat for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to be transparent.

2. Then add half a cup of stock, mix and reduce slightly the fire. As in the case of a classic risotto, the decoction should be added in portions when the rice absorbs the previous portion. Remember to mix frequently. After about 15-20 minutes, the rice will become creamy and soft. The rest of the decoction that has been left, keep it.

3. While fried rice with vegetables, warm the oil on a separate pan. Add the squid thinly chopped and fry over low heat until the excess water evaporates. Increase the fire, add wine and fry until the alcohol evaporates.

4. At this time, pine nuts must be roasted in a dry pan and the tomato should be cut finely. Put the fried squids, parsley, tomato and pine nuts into rice with vegetables. Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.

5. Cut off the top parts of the other four peppers and carefully remove the seeds so as not to damage the vegetables. Pour the prepared stuffing inside each pepper. It should not be applied with a hill, because during the baking rice will increase its volume. We pour the peppers and stuffing lightly with olive oil, cover with previously cut pieces and put in a deep ovenproof dish. Pour the vegetable vinegar into the dish, which remains and add the tomato puree.

6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and put in the oven preheated to 180 degrees. We bake peppers for about 65-75 minutes.

We serve hot preferably with a glass of white wine.

Καλή όρεξη!

Fried fish with lemon

Fried fish with lemon

Greek cuisine is associated with simplicity. Ingredients that Greeks need to prepare a tasty meal is always only as much as needed. That's the recipe for fried fish in a lemon marinade.

Garides saganaki

Garides saganaki

Garides saganaki or shrimp baked in tomato sauce with feta cheese is one of the most famous Greek dishes. It will especially appeal to the lovers of these crustaceans. A thick tomato sauce with sunken shrimps, sprinkled with feta cheese and parsley is served with a good bread, which will perfectly remove the remains of the sauce. Although the dish is easy to make, it is necessary to reserve some time to prepare it. A large part of it will be devoted to cleansing shrimps.

Squid fried in deep oil

Squid fried in deep oil

In Greek taverns, one of the most popular appetizers is fried squid. The tastiest and softest will be small specimens, so if there is an opportunity, it is best to order them. However, it is worth remembering that for a seafood feast, go to a good tavern rather than one of the "pubs" located near the tourist promenade, because then the chances of getting rubbery and unpalatable calamari grow.

 Aegean Airlines together with SAS ruined our family. We have all 4 gotten ptsd and anciety
 Wij hebben helemaal geen probleem met Kreta en helemaal niet met de wegbewijzering daar. Trouwens tegenwoordig heb je ook navigatie zo niet dan rij je gewoon op gevoel je komt altijd wel op een mooi plekje uit en je komt vanzelf wel op een weg met wegbewijzering tegen. Maar wat kan het je schelen je hebt vakantie
 Geen problemen ondervonden Komen er al 14 jaar
 Urocze miejsce
gość PiotrWie  Wczoraj zaczęło przybywać ludzi na wyspie, dziś ( czwartek) przybyło wyraźnie więcej - przyjechali Grecy na święta. Zobaczymy na jak długo.

Ciekawe miejsca na Krecie
