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. - 27 Apr 2011
Really good recipe thanks! Will definitely make again. - 22 May 2012
These are fabulous. I can't believe this recipe doesn't have more reviews! The real secret to making this great is that you need to food process the filling until it's smooth. My friends and especially my finance and his family LOVE this recipe. Definitely worth trying. It does take a little time, but it's SO worth it! - 15 Jul 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
