A delightful way to make a tasty Lebanese squash dish. This is a vegetarian alternative to kousa mihshi stuffed with rice, garbanzo beans, parsley, and tomato, is satisfying and wonderfully seasoned. If the light green, very tender, Lebanese summer squash are unavailable, use small yellow crooknecks of dark green zucchini. Mexican squash varieties are very similar to Lebanese and might be found in farmers’ markets. Seeds for Lebanese squash are available through a few seed companies, if you care to grow your own. This tasty summer dish can be made with or without garbanzo beans; mint is also an optional ingredient.

this is a traditional stove-top dish made in Lebanese mountain villages, years back, when people did not have ovens. as recently as 10 years ago, cousins prepared this dish for me in the same way my mother and grandmother made it. for Lebanese is it not at all odd to make labor-intensive food as an offering of love to your family and friends. the finished dish would be completely different cooked as schnotzarella described…but if one doesn’t have time, you appreciate what you’re served!

Strikes me as a little odd to do all that work with the coring tool. My mother used to make a thing where she boiled the squashes first, cut them lengthwise and scooped out the insides, then blended that with all the other goodie ingredients and stuffed them and baked it in the oven. Less work and very tasty.

the lebanese squash (kousa) corer is called a manara or munara in arabic. my mom’s is 1/2″ diameter. they’re commercially available from $2 to $20 online!!! .so it’s not necessary to make your own. in the 1940s, and 50s they were not available so my mama had to improvise!
i tried to post weblinks for the best ones i found online, but youtube doesn’t allow urls. email me, and i’ll send you the links! also, you can buy a copy of my cookbook!
