Egyptian Stuffed Vegetables (Mashi) image

You could use any veggies you like for this recipe. Instead of rice you can stuff it with cooked mince. Serve as a side dish. Prep and cooking time I am guessing. There would be some rice mixture left over, I normally add it in between the veggies and bake it.
