In a 2-quart covered saucepan bring 2 cups of water to boil. Add the rice,
return to the boil, cover, and turn off the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Drain and cool before proceeding with the recipe.
Mix cooked rice thoroughly with the stuffing ingredients.
Fill the vegetables loosely with the rice mixture. It will expand during
cooking, so do not pack; leave room at the top or the sides. Arrange the
vegetables in a covered, deep skillet. Simmer, covered, along with the
water, tomato sauce, and lemon juice on low flame (30 minutes for bell
peppers and zucchini; 20 minutes for tomatoes). Check water to see that it
is not evaporating. If it gets low, add more hot water.
VARIATION Use the same Hashwe to stuff a chicken or a turkey. Or wrap in
partially cooked fresh grape leaves, Swiss chard, cabbage, or slices of
eggplant. Cloves of garlic added to the cooking liquid impart authentic
flavor.
Serve accompanied with Leban Sauce, if desired. Serves 4.
