Roasted stuffed vegetables, including bell peppers and tomatoes, are arranged closely together. The vegetables have a slightly charred appearance, indicating they were baked. A metallic spoon and pieces of chopped zucchini are visible. The dish is filled with a mixture of rice, herbs, and minced meat, following a traditional cretan recipe. The golden-brown tones of the vegetables contrast with the vivid red and green hues, embodying the essence of Mediterranean cuisine.
