No 'soupy' soup for mom and I follow in her footsteps. I made this today and will let it sit overnight in the fridge; skim, heat and serve with my flaky biscuits and sweet butter. http://www.grouprecipes.com/102049/beef-shank-veggie-soup.html The filling can be used to stuff tomatoes, as well. A nice presentation is, serving the stuffed peppers with stuffed tomatoes, using a variety of colors for both. If you are not a feta-fan, replace with mozzarella. Toasted pine nuts can be added in place of the chickpeas. Another way to go is couscous in place of the orzo. Near East has many flavors to choose from. Serve with pita bread & cucumber salad.

Easy and fresh tasting. Good Housekeeping. http://www.grouprecipes.com/94347/greek-style-tilapia.html I have been wanting to make Dolma for a while now, it is an Eastern European way of hollowing and stuffing vegetables which have the typical appearance of looking rolled. Most cooks will stuff their chosen vegetable with cheese and meat, or cheese and fish. I decided to stuff mine with Orzo, a rice shaped pasta, sweet peppers, chili peppers, tomatoes, garlic and onions. Why not just use rice instead? Orzo has the most delicious flavor, that even the finest risotto rice cannot duplicate. I use this a lot in my pasta dishes and soups. Be sure to try it some time! Rolled Aubergine or Eggplant Dolma makes for an excellent appetizer or lunch. It is a little time consuming to make, but believe me the taste is well worth it.
