Great dish!! You do it the same as me. The only thing I do different is that I
put a little pomagranite juice in the broth mixture for a little more tart
taste.

I love this Dede! Can you also show us how to make stuffed eggplant? A friend of
mine made mashi with eggplant, zucchini, and bell pepper - was great!

Absolutely delicious. This recipe turned out perfect. Now I know why you
can't overstuff a cousa with too much rice. Thank you Dede and keep going with
more recipes.
