  7. Fill the vegetables loosely with the rice mix. It will expand during cooking, so don't pack; leave room at the top or possibly the sides. Arrange the vegetables in a covered deep skillet.
  8. Simmer, covered, along with the water, tomato sauce and lemon juice on stovetop over low flame (30 min for bell peppers and zucchini; 20 min for tomatoes).

  11. Variation: Use the same hashwe to stuff a chicken or possibly turkey. Or possibly wrap in partially cooked fresh grape leaves, Swiss chard, cabbage or possibly slices of eggplant. Cloves of garlic added to the cooking liquid impart authentic flavor.
  12. Comments: Everyone in the Midle East loves stuffed vegetables. I believe they are a desert invention.
  13. This recipe is not difficult to prepare and the results are redolent of the Arabian Nights!
