I once made a stuffed tomato recipe from The Two Fat Ladies. I can't
remember what they were stuffed with but I used yellow and red tomatoes and
baked them in the oven. I sometimes do stuffed peppers. I normally use rice
and beef with tomato sauce on top. But my former FIL wouldn't eat rice so I
made some for him with mashed potatoes inside and topped them with tomato
sauce and cheese. They were very good.

I think I have seen recipes for stuffed onions. And my former SIL used to do
stuffed zucchini. Not sure I could find any in the stores that is big enough
for stuffing. She used those whoppers that people grow in their gardens and
always seem to have an excess of. She never used recipes. Just threw things
together. But IIRC, she did them like you would the peppers. And of course
there is stuffed cabbage. I may have made that once. IIRC, it was rather a
pain to make.

Are there any other veggies you can stuff and bake in the oven? I am wanting
to use a grain like barley or rice and a protein like cheese, beans or meat.

Yes, I know there are cold stuffed veggies as well. But it is really cold
here right now and no end in sight so I am wanting to keep the oven on. Any
suggestions?

I had forgotten about those because nobody here likes mushrooms. We will eat
a small amount mixed into something but I doubt that any of us could bring
ourselves to eat those. But thanks! BTW, what are they usually stuffed with?
And aren't they more of a side dish or appetizer? I have seen the
pre-stuffed at the store. Looked like they smashed some cheese and spinach
in there.

I've heard of eggplant. I mean, I tasted some eggplant once, and understand
that some people apparently stuff them. I don't have any recipes though.

If you're trying to divine a unique recipe for a well-known vegetable that
is usually prepared otherwise, I suggest you get a dremel with the 'pointed
egg' router attachment and then you could probably core something like a
rutabaga or acorn squash. Don't forget your safety glasses.

If you are allowed(?) to cut something in half and rejoin the halves after
stuffing, you could use the aforementioned dremel with just about anything.

And if you have an abundance of time, you could even define & implement a
nested series, like the Russian dolls: Pumpkin stuffed with spaghetti
squash stuffed with butternut squash stuffed with rutabaga stuffed with red
pepper stuffed with yellow beet stuffed with a baby potato.

OMG! I could see my brother doing that last bit. Although he hates
vegetables, he loves nesting dolls.

I will look up stuffed eggplant. I used to make eggplant rollatine all the
time when we lived in NY. Had forgotten about that. Wasn't technically
stuffed because I would cut them in lengthwise slices then fry in a little
olive oil till soft. They were then rolled around a cheese filling such as
you would use in lasagna. I used to put an egg in there but I think it might
work without so long as I put some firmer cheese in there. Top with tomato
sauce, more cheese and bake. Sooo yummy! My eggplant was not breaded but
when you order this dish in a restaurant, it always seems to come breaded.

I will for sure be making this in the near future.

And of course, since he is a man, power tools.

He might be a man but I don't think he's into tools.

Whole Hokkaido Pumpkin. Makes a nice bowl (unpeeled!), too.

Hmmm... I don't think we can get anything like that here. But I will look
for it.

Red kuri is probably not readily available in US markets, however I
often stuff acorn squash. Many summer squash take to stuffing too,
like over grown zukes and large patti pans. Did anyone mention my
favorite, sweet n' sour stuffed cabbage.

I've not seen those. We do have winter squash here but not a lot left in the
stores. It's a little late in the season I think.

Split, baked, stuffed acorn squash. Stuff them with whatever you think
whoever will eat it would like. You can find tons of recipes using
barley or rice and protein "like cheese, beans or meat". If you search
using those parameters you'll find a ton of them. None of which will
meet your specifications. What else is new?
