      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!

      Nou, probeer dan pindakaas te bakken in ruil daarvan!

      Could you please tell me if I also can use tomatoes in the filling? Thanks

      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!

      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!

      Look into canning supply’s, a water bath pot jar rack would be perfect. Love the copper pipe knife good idea.

      I was wondering if it would not be better to partially cook the rice before mixing and stuffing the squash so to give it a head start? I have eaten these before and I have found some with the rice still raw inside….do not taste very good.
