Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized pan over medium heat, saute onions and olive oil for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 additional minutes. Add rice and mix everything together. Turn heat to low and add white wine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until alcohol is cooked out, then add zucchini, tomato juice, and vegetable stock. Let rice cook on low for 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and add pine nuts and herbs. Stir and season to perfection. Rice will not be fully cooked.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut 1 cm off tomato tops and clean out insides until empty. Season with salt and stuff tomatoes with rice mixture. Cover tomatoes with their 1 cm tops. Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle with parmesan. Place in oven and cook for 20 minutes covered and an additional 20 minutes uncovered. Let cool for 20 minutes and serve with Greek village salad and Greek feta cheese.
