The advantage of this dish, as with many stuffed vegetable dishes, is that it can be prepared in advance. Traditionally this dish was prepared with laban jmeed or laban immo as it is called in the Bethlehem dialect, which has a particularly strong and acrid flavour that may not be appreciated by those who did not grow up eating it. My mother, who is not a native Palestinian, has always cooked it successfully with unflavoured yoghurt. This recipe is a variation on her theme.
