I LOVE this recipe! I do a few substitutions, such as parsley for basil, and dif olives, etc., based on my own tastes. Enjoy!

    Yum. I definitely will be making these.

    I really like recipes with the word "stuffed" in the name because they just sound satisfying. :glasses:

    For some reason I can't go back and edit or delete old posts. I guess this is a bump!

    This looks gorgeous, apart from the goats cheese which i hate, but i'm sure some mozzarella would be an okay sub. I'll add this to my ever expanding list of things to try :)

    haha Katherine, I was thinking the same thing!! I'm guessing what we would call grilling? Where as I think American 'grilling' is closer to our 'chargrilling' or george foreman style... its all so confusing!!
