How to Make Greek Stuffed Vegetables

Stuffed vegetables (meatless with a rice and vegetable mixture, or with a meat mixture) are Greek classics. These photos were taken while making my friend Kalliroi's meatless version, but the techniques are the same for all.

1. Choose your recipe:

• Kalliroi's Stuffed Vegetables with Rice (meatless)
• Stuffed Vegetables with Rice and Almonds (meatless)
• Aliki's Meatless Stuffed Vegetables
• Stuffed Vegetables with Meat

2. Items to have on hand:

• baking or roasting pan, as called for in recipe
• medium-large mixing bowl
• vegetable grater
• 2 spoons for scooping out vegetables - 1 tablespoon, 1 teaspoon or smaller
• serrated knife for slicing vegetables & scoring zucchini
• colander
