Recipe reminder: salmon plaki (Greek baked fish)

If you found some tempting salmon or any white fish to bring home like me yesterday, here's a greek way to cook it that we call "plaki". I got some amazing oriental bread with semolina and made a fresh salad, all yummy!

Gemista = Stuffed tomatoes, the greek way! [updated]

[Updated on 26/02/2025]

In several countries people cook stuffed tomatoes, find today how we cook them in Greece that is extremely healthy and at the same time very tasty. Home will smell amazingly nice and you won't be able to resist! 

Again a recipe that will make happy all vegetarians out there :)

Gemista (which means "stuffed" in Greek) is a traditional dish of vegetables—usually tomatoes and bell peppers, sometimes zucchini—filled with a flavorful mixture of rice, herbs, and occasionally ground meat. It’s a classic summer dish, best enjoyed with a side of feta cheese and crusty bread.

My mother used to make it without meat, which I consider closer to the authentic version, as it belongs to a category of vegetarian Greek dishes known as “ladera” (which means "oily" due to the generous use of olive oil). That being said, a meat variation is also delicious! (see at the end how to do the meat variation)
