  • 100 grams parmesan
  • 100 grams bread crumbs
  • 1 onion

Directions

  1. Scoop out the legumes, using the specific method for each, and put the contents aside for mixing with the stuffing.

  4. Put the rice, or the well-squeezed bread, in with the onion.

  6. Add salt and pepper and stir the mixture until it is dry, and remove it from the heat.
