Bright healthy side dish in oriental style. Rice is cooked the longest in the recipe, the rest is done very quickly! We cook in parallel with the main product, for example, I have chicken.
I decided to cook the two remaining turnips, white and yellow, tastier, and a stuffed version with baking in the oven is ideal for them! Chopped mushrooms and onions are supplemented with sour cream “cap”. It turned out delicious, but there was a slight bitterness inherent in turnips. In this way, you can stuff and bake radish or rutabaga. Take the number of products for minced meat, focusing on the size of the prepared vegetables.
It is prepared quite simply, but it turns out delicious, beautiful, festive. As a filling, you can use whatever you like. Today I have pickled pears and tomatoes with garlic, cheese and dill.
