Stuffed Peppers, Aubergines and Courgettes

This popular vegetable dish is served as a main course in Southern Italy, as well as an antipasto or snack. Any vegetable that makes a suitable container can be stuffed with a variety of fillings. My mother always used to bake more stuffed vegetables than she needed and they made an excellent midnight feast when my brothers and I returned home and raided the fridge.

This version is not for vegetarians, unless you omit the ham.
