Gevuld

Gevuld is a Dutch adjective and the past participle of the verb vullen, meaning filled or stuffed. It describes objects that have had something placed inside them or that contain a filling.

In cooking, gevuld is used for dishes in which ingredients are placed inside another food item. Common examples are gevulde paprika (stuffed peppers), gevulde tomaat (stuffed tomato), and gevulde aardappel (stuffed potato). A well-known Dutch specialty is gevulde koek, a round almond-filled cookie often coated with chocolate.

As an adjective, gevuld agrees with the noun in number and definiteness, like other Dutch adjectives. For example: een gevulde paprika, de gevulde paprika, gevulde paprika's. The exact form follows standard Dutch adjective agreement rules.

Etymology and usage notes: gevuld is formed from the verb vullen ("to fill") with the past participle suffix -d. It is used both in culinary contexts and more generally to describe containers or objects that have been filled.

In addition to food, the term can describe packaging or items that have been filled with contents, such as a gevulde doos (a filled box) or other objects described as containing a filling. The word is primarily a descriptive term in everyday Dutch and appears in both spoken and written language.
