Cut the tops off all the tomatoes, but try not to go all the way though so that it remains like a lid. Then remove the insides by using a knife and spoon and place them in a bowl.

Place all the chunky pieces from the tomatoes into a blender and give it a light pulse. (In total you want around 650 - 700 ml of juice/ pulp)

Cut the tops off all the capsicums. I make a jagged line around when I cut, so that each lid is unique to the capsicum and fits perfectly on top. Be sure to clean them and remove the seeds.

Slice the side of the eggplants to create an opening. Remove the insides - dice them up and place in a bowl.

Place all vegetables into your dish that you will be cooking in. Season the insides with salt and pepper.

Clean and quarter 2 - 4 potatoes (depending on the size of your dish and room) - place in bowl of water

Over medium-high heat add ¼ cup olive oil to a pot

Add inside your diced onions and garlic - allow to caramelize

Add inside 500 grams beef mince - cook till not pink

Add inside 1 and a ½ cups washed rice - cook for 2 minutes

Add the diced/ chopped egg plant - cook for a minute

Add the parsley, mint and dill - mix through

Add all the salt, pepper, oregano and cinnamon - mix through

Add inside all the tomato juice/ pulp

Cook for a few minutes - you want the consistency to be quite sloppy but not runny.

Turn off the heat, remove the pot.

Fill the insides of the vegetables with the stuffing - don't fill to the top because the rice will expand.

Add any left over stuffing into the dish for juice and flavour

Ensure all vegetables are sitting up right and nicely spaced.

Ensure your left over stuffing is now placed into the dish.

Add inside your potatoes - between the vegetables (this also helps hold them upright)

Add 1 cup of olive oil into the dish (coating all the vegetables and potatoes as you pour it in)

Season again with salt and pepper over the top of everything

Cover well - I use both wet baking paper and alfoil to cover my dish

Place into a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius set to fan

Cook for 1 hour covered

Remove the dish and uncover

Cook for another hour until browned and you are happy with how it looks.

Remove from oven, allow to set for 20-30 minutes

Serve and enjoy!
