Baked Guavas Stuffed With Mushrooms & Olives
Ingredients
6 guavas
1 tbsp oil
1 cup mushrooms, chopped
1 tbsp onion, chopped
1/2 cup green olives, chopped
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
4 tsp chopped fresh dill weed or
1 tsp dried dill
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Preparation
To prepare the guavas for stuffing, cut a thin slice from the top of
the guava. With a melon ball scoop or small spoon, remove the seeds
and set the guavas aside.
Heat the oil in a skillet. Add mushrooms, onion, green olives,
herbs, salt and pepper; saute until vegetables are soft. Remove the
mixture from the flame; cool. Stuff the guavas, filling them to the
top.
Place stuffed guavas in a baking dish just large enough to hold them
and sprinkle sesame seeds over the guava tops. Bake at 325 F. for 1
hour, or until the fruit is tender. Serve hot.
