Stuffed vegetables with sour vulgur.

Stuffed vegetables are a food so notorious that no recommendations are needed, generally eaten in the Balkans and the East, often accompanied by stuffed vine leaves, and/or stuffed zucchini blossoms, often cooked with minced meat in the filling, but here we will see the version with sour vulgur, called “ksinohodros” in Crete, which is a wheat product, like they ate it in Crete in the old days, the delicious ksinohodros, for which will make a video and an article soon about how it’s made, where we use it and what are its properties. For now try this recipe and you will not regret it.

and generally do not prefer the larger vegetables, but those of conventional size.
