Stuffed zucchini (Koussa mahshi)

Cooking Vegetarian Stuffed zucchini (Koussa mahshi)

If you omit the mince, this simple and tasty dish makes a great vegetarian option, too.

  1. Use an apple corer or small, sharp knife to remove the flesh from the zucchini, leaving a 5mm-thick border. Wash shells in a bowl of salted water.
  2. Combine the mince, rice, tomato, butter, water, allspice and cinnamon in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Fill each zucchini shell about three-quarters full with the rice mixture.
  3. Place the zucchini, in a single layer, in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Add tomato paste and salt. Bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 1 hour or until very tender.
  4. Divide among serving dishes and pour over broth. Serve with bread and yoghurt.
