Directions
Yemista (Greek Stuffed Tomatoes and Peppers),Maybe my favourite Greek dish. Yes, my favourite.,This turned out perfectly with medium grain rice! We used golden raisins because its what we had. We used slivered almonds. My husband went back for thirds! We will make this again and again!,Was left not knowing what to do with the tomato juice, and the rice didn’t cook after 1.45 hrs. Can someone please help me out with this recipe? It’s not like my Yiayias Yemista ??
