Stuffed dishes are meals where ingredients are filled or packed into another food item. Common examples include stuffed peppers, where bell peppers are filled with a mixture of rice, meat, and spices, or stuffed pasta, like manicotti or ravioli, which are filled with cheese or meat. These dishes can be baked, boiled, or fried, depending on the recipe. The concept of stuffing food dates back centuries and is found in various cuisines around the world. In Middle Eastern cuisine, stuffed grape leaves are popular, while in Mexican cuisine, chiles en nogada features stuffed poblano peppers. Stuffed dishes are versatile and can be adapted to suit different tastes and dietary preferences.
