Stuffed Peppers with Cheese

We wash and peel the vegetables, we chop and blend them to become a puree. We heat the oil in a deep pan, add the puree, the parsley, the vinegar, salt and pepper. We mix it for a while and as soon as the sauce is curdy enough, we remove it from the stovetop. In the meanwhile, we boil the penne macaroni in boiled water with 3 spoonfuls of olive oil. We strain them, sprinkle them with the sauce and mix them.

1.We sauté the mushrooms with the oil very well. We add the onions, the tomatoes, the chopped carrots and we keep browning them.
2.Then, we add the rice and a glass of water. We boil the food until there is no more juice in it. We add some salt, pepper and  parsley.

According to the tradition, in the 4th century AD, the Byzantine emperor Theodosius the Great (379–395 AD) laid the foundations for the reconstruction of the monastery, as a gesture of gratitude for the salvation of his son, Arkadius. Arcadius was sailing towards Rome, when suddenly the ship was wrecked and he himself was miraculously saved by the intervention of the Virgin Mary. Arkadius was found on the shores of the Athonian Peninsula, sleeping next to a reed.
