The Autumn gives us a plethora of vegetables. One way of using them is to stuff them and bake them in the oven. Most vegetables can be stuffed, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and of course courgettes.
The ingredients for the stuffing can be changed, to suit your taste.
If you want a total vegetarian dish, leave out the ham and add more cheese or add some crushed nuts
