Baked guavas stuffed with mushrooms and olives (yemenite)

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 Guavas
1 tablespoon Oil
1 cup Mushrooms; chopped
1 tablespoon Onion; chopped
½ cup Green olives; chopped
2 tablespoons Parsley; chopped
4 teaspoons Fresh dill weed; chopped or-
1 teaspoon Dried dill
½ teaspoon Each salt and pepper
1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 F.

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 for 1 hour, or until the fruit is tender. Serve hot.
