Vegetarian Les Petits Farcis

Les Petits Farcis a Vegetarian Version

I’m going to share with you my family’s favourite one. It’s a very simple version, healthy, and vegetarian. Let’s get cooking! To make it easier, choose round shaped vegetables. For the pleasure of the eyes, choose different colour vegetables: tomatoes, round zucchini, peppers, white onions.
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Course Main Course
Cuisine French, Provencal
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium Tomatoes
  • 4 medium Zucchini the round version is better for stuffing
  • Option: 4 medium Sweet Onions
  • Option: 4 medium Mushrooms
  • Option: 4 medium Bell Peppers

Ingredients for Vegetarian Stuffing:

  • 1 1/2 Cups Cheese choice: goat, mozzarella
  • 3 Cups Quinoa or couscous
  • Salt
  • Ground Pepper

Instructions
 

Prepare and Pre-cook Your Vegetables:

  • Wash the vegetables.
  • Put them in a steamer( *). Without a steamer, you can do this step using a pan with water.
  • Put water in a pan and you add the vegetables when it is boiling. Check for doneness by sticking a knife in the vegetables when the vegetables have the “good” texture (not too hard, not too soft).
  • Of course, depending on the vegetable, leave it more or less time in the steamer. For example, a tomato will soften faster than a zucchini. Leave the tomato for 5 minutes and the zucchini for 25 minutes.

Prepare Your Veggies For The Stuffing:

  • If the skin on your tomatoes is thick, blanch and remove the skin.
  • Cut the top off the vegetables. If some are long such as zucchinis or peppers, cut them lengthwise.
  • Scoop out the flesh from the vegetables, careful not to cut through the outer layer.
  • Set the vegetables aside, and keep the flesh from the vegetables for soup or another use.

Stuff the Vegetables:

  • Mix all ingredients (cheese, quinoa or couscous, salt & pepper) with a blender.
  • Stuff the vegetables with the mixture.

Notes

*Note: Do you know this kitchen tool? It is very handy for softening vegetables. If you put just them in the oven, they may stay a bit hard/uncooked. And if they are cooked for too long in the oven, they can blacken.
