This is a vegetarian alternative to kousa mihshi stuffed with rice, garbanzo beans, parsley, and tomato, is satisfying and wonderfully seasoned.

    As she said, it’s slow food.
    Why do it faster?

    I’ve always prepared stuffed aubergines with a filling made of ground meat, shredded onions, pinenuts and spices in yoghurt-garlic-coriander sauce; the so-called ’sheikh al-mehshi’ along with rice on the side but I’ve never tried its vegetarian version yet. By the way, I carried out your recipe literally i.e. without tomatoes and let me honestly tell you that it tasted ‘as if an angel was riding a bike on my tongue’ meaning very succulent indeed! :) Anyway, thanks a lot for this fabulous video!

    yes! there’s a recipe for vegetarian stuffed eggplant which is similar and uses tomatoes in the filling.

    also, this recipe uses tomato sauce on top, so that would be fine to use in the filling!

    let us know how it comes out and happy cooking!

    over kleinzielig gesproken, jouw reactie getuigt van een behoorlijke vooringenomenheid en xenofobie.
    p.s. Hagelslag kun je niet koken en kankerkaas ( I quote) heb ik nog niet gevonden in de super. Voor het overige wens ik je een nice cooking, wellicht minder verhit dan je overdreven reactie!
