Kousa Mahshi (Stuffed Zucchini)
&sheikh Mehshi *
If your favorite
vegetable is squash or zucchini, then you will love this treat for
sure. Kousa Mahshi is a famous stuffed zucchini dish in most Middle
Eastern nations. People claim this recipe’s root is from Syria,
while Greek and Turkish people believe this is their food.
Nevertheless, regardless of its complex origin, Lebanese have
developed their own way of cooking this dish, making it a specialty
that everyone must try when they have a chance to visit Lebanon.The
main ingredient in Kousa Mahshi must be zucchini. You can remove the
zucchini’s core, then stuff them with a mixture of rice, minced meat
(could be lamb or beef or both), butter, and spices. Some versions
come with herbs as well.
The best way to serve them is with pita bread, or you can accompany
it with pickled veggies like radishes, cucumber, or carrots. And
Kousa Mahshi should be hot or warm when consumed.
