6 Guavas

1 tb Oil

1 c Mushrooms -- chopped

1 tb Onion -- chopped

1/2 c Green olives -- chopped

2 tb Parsley -- chopped

4 ts Chopped fresh dill weed or 1 t Dried dill

To prepare the guavas for stuffing, cut a thin slice

from the top of the guava. With a melon ball scoop or small spoon, remove the seeds and set the guavas aside.

Heat the oil in a skillet. Add mushrooms, onion,

green olives, herbs, salt and pepper; saute until

vegetables are soft. Remove the mixture from the

flame; cool. Stuff the guavas, filling them to the

top.

Place stuffed guavas in a baking dish just large

enough to hold them and sprinkle sesame seeds over the

325 F. for 1 hour, or until the

fruit is tender. Serve hot.
