Kousa Mahshi (Stuffed Zucchini)
Hollowed zucchini stuffed with spiced lamb and rice, braised in tomato-mint broth.
Why It Works
Coring the zucchini and stuffing creates a natural casing that steams the filling. The tomato broth keeps everything moist while the warm spices permeate the meat and rice.
