"Based upon a recipe from an old Jewish Cookbook- these are delicious. I use Everglades brand seasoning instead of salt and pepper. Hint - to make sure that the rice cooks with the meat, make sure the rice stuffing mixture is on the wet side - the grated onion should do it but you can add a bit of water if needed. The frequent basting also adds moisture and flavor to the stuffing."
