TIPS:
This recipe can be made with other fillings depending on the ingredients of the day or for a vegetarian recipe:
- Make a stuffing based on rice + sausage meat + garlic (like stuffed tomatoes)
- We can replace the bacon with white ham (a little less fat)
- We can replace button mushrooms with other seasonal mushrooms
- Some herbs such as chives goes very well with the recipe
- For a slightly richer dish, you can add a handful of grated cheese (comté, emmenthal...) or goat cheese.
- For a 100% vegetarian version, le joli blog Healthyfood - Creation offers a variant with quinoa, lentils, carrots and goat cheese.
