Stuffed tomato amigurumi free pattern. You can't be Greek and not like Gemista - a traditional dish of stuffed vegetables, mainly tomatoes. I love this dish which incidentaly is also vegan and my mom tought me how to cook. I've shared the vegan recipe for the stuffed tomatoes Greek gemista here on the blog so you can make it yourself! And now it's time to recreate the recipe with yarn! So I did and if you keep reading below you will find the Stuffed tomato amigurumi free pattern!
So my kids love to help me cook. They really ask for it every time I go in the kitchen to cook. I love to connect with them by letting them help me and gain life skills also. I've noticed that many times they copy what they learn while helping me cook into their role playing and I thought I'd make them some pretend food they can use in the play time! The pattern has three parts and the stuffing comes out! They love that part!
