Many types of vegetables are also suitable for stuffing, after their [[seed]]s or flesh has been removed. [[Tomato]]es, [[capsicum]]s (sweet or hot peppers), and [[Marrow (vegetable)|vegetable marrow]]s such as zucchini may be prepared in this way. [[Cabbage]]s and similar vegetables can also be stuffed or wrapped around a filling. They are usually [[blanching (cooking)|blanched]] first, in order to make their leaves more pliable. Then the interior may be replaced by stuffing, or small amounts of stuffing may be inserted between the individual leaves.<ref>{{cite news|author=Olia Hercules |url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/may/17/delicious-recipes-ukraine-and-beyond-borshch-stuffed-cabbage-olia-hercules |title=Eight delicious, rich and nourishing recipes from Ukraine and beyond &#124; Life and style |newspaper=The Guardian |date= 17 May 2015|access-date=2015-12-02|author-link=Olia Hercules }}</ref>
