Risotto Like Gemista
Around here, I try to share classic Greek dishes and sometimes, I like to share classics with a twist. Take Gemista aka Stuffed Peppers and Tomatoes (sometimes other veggies) – a dish made in every Greek household.
The usual stuffing consists of rice, onions, lots of herbs. Some families (like mine) also enjoy adding ground meat into the mix.
Today’s recipe is a risotto that will take just like Gemista. Yes! I served this as one of my courses at a recent Greek Supper Club and it was a hit. The risotto get’s the “gemista” flavour from roasting and pureeing tomatoes and peppers. Clever!
There are many recipes for this dish on the Greek web but I liked Chef Panos Ioannidis’ version best. When one eats Gemista, Feta cheese is usually served with the dish and Chef Panos came up with an easy Feta Mousse as a garnish!

- To make the Feta Mousse, coarsely crumble the cheese and place in a food processor with the cream and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover and place in the fridge.
- For the roasted vegetables, place on a parchment-lined pan and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place in a pre-heated 400F oven for 20 minutes. Allow to cool, remove stems and seeds and chop. Place in a food processor and puree. Set aside.
- For the risotto, place a large pan on your stovetop over medium heat and add the olive oil and onions and sweat for 4-5 minutes. Add the rice and stir for a couple of minutes to toast.
- Add the wine and stir until absorbed by the rice. Add ladles of stock (one ladle at a time) while stirring (this step takes about 17 minutes).
