Notes
A very basic recipe. for a dolma, or a stuffed vegetable.
I've used my basic stuffing here, one can use prepared stuffing, or make your own. One can use butter to saute the filling veggies or one could fry off 4-6 slices of bacon and use the bacon fat...(I'd also crumble the bacon and add to the filling)
This will work for small squash, (adjust cooking times), aubergine, peppers, etc, etc, etc...
