Easy
Made this last night... very easy, very tasty, very healthy. I didn't have any parsley or coriander, but it was very nice anyway. Think I'll use less cumin next time, and yes, I can see how this would be very nice with a bit of tomato sauce.
I served this with baked chili-pepper sweet potato fries and steamed spinach with a bit of lemon juice. Very nice meal, everything done in an hour.
I would say that this serves 4, not 8 - boyfriend and I had two of the stuffed halves each, not filling enough to have just one. Also, photo here looks like there's cheese and tomato sauce on it or something, doesn't look like that when you cook it up. Will upload photo of mine.
