Preparation

  1. Boil the buckwheat and the lentils separately and be careful not to soften them too much. Let them cool down. In a large bowl put the boiled buckwheat and strained lentils. Add the onion, garlic, peppers, herbs and stir.
  2. Cut the lids from the vegetables, put them aside and "dig" them with a teaspoon to take out their flesh. Chop it and add it to the bowl with the buckwheat. Salt and pepper, pour 3 tablespoons oil and crushed tomato.
  3. Place the vegetables in a pyrex/pan and fill them with the filling. Cover with lids. In a bowl, put the chopped potatoes, water, remaining oil, fresh oregano, salt and pepper and mix. Add them to the pan.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for about 90 minutes!
