Kousa Mahshi

Kousa Mahshi is a classic dish in UAE consisting of zucchini or courgettes stuffed with rice. This amazing dish actually comprises many different kinds of squash or zucchini which is stuffed with rice and sometimes meat and cooked on the stove top or in the oven. While the meatless version is often eaten at room temperature or warm and regarded as an "olive-oil dish", the meat version is served hot, as a main cours.

Yogurt is often put on top of this dish to give it that edge and makes it a lip-smacking treat for all food-lovers. Kousa Mahshi can also be served with rice, garlic and mint. It is suggested that diners should have this with some Lebanese wine to feel all the things that the dish has to offer truly.
