Directions

Wash the rice in a large bowl filled with water, drain. Put the rice in a 3-quart (liter) or larger pot. Add water and salt, bring to a simmer. Cover the rice, and gently simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Be sure to keep the heat low, or the starch from the rice can boil over.When the water is absorbed, add the milk, butter, sugar and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, and then simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and fully suspended in the milk. Discard the cinnamon stick, and add the orange flower water. Simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes. Move the rice to a serving casserole or individual serving bowls, and leave to set, 30 minutes or longer.
Serve warm or chilled, with a sprinkling of cinnamon or nutmeg as a garnish.

Directions
For the matzo balls:
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or vegetable oil)
2 tablespoons vegetable stock
1/2 cup unsalted matzo meal
1 tablespoon minced flat leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill)
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the broth:
6 cups vegetable stock
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
2 carrots, cut into 1/4 inch slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bay leaf
2 green onions, including green parts, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley
salt and pepper

Matzo balls: stir together eggs, butter and vegetable stock in a small bowl. Add the matzo meal, parsley, dill and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until combined. Cover & refrigerate for at least 15 minutes and up to 8 hours.
2. Boil a large pot of water over high heat; add some salt. Using wet hands, make the dough into 12 1-inch balls. Drop the balls, one at a time, into the boiling water. Reduce heat, simmer for 30 minutes. Matzo balls should be plump, tender and cooked.
3. While the matzo balls are being prepared, make the soup. Sauté onion, celery, and carrots in a large pot or oven with olive oil, until vegetables are slightly brown, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Add stock and bay leaf and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in parsley and green onions and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove bay leaf and taste. Adjust seasonings to suit taste.
Serve: spoon a cooked matzo ball into a bowl and ladle soup over them.
In a large mixing bowl mix mock ground beef, cooked wild rice, ½ of the can of chopped tomatoes, onion, cheese, egg, walnuts, red pepper flakes, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Mix well. Cut just the tops off of the green peppers and remove seeds and ribs from inside. Stuff with ground beef mixture. Place stuffed peppers stuffed side up in a slow cooker and pour stock and remaining tomatoes over. Cover and cook on HIGH for 5-6 hours or on LOW for 8-9 hours.
