Lebanese Cooking: How To Make Summer Squash with Rice

For more Stories, Food News, and Cooking Fresh videos, visit: http://cookingupastory.com
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.

  Howto & Style

Wonderful recipe. I am going to try this. HOpe this video is still up harvest time next year. I can make the corer easily enough. Many thanks for sharing this.

[cookingupastory]

It ought to still be here, desertblbuesman. How would you make the corer? Any tips, suggestions?

[desertblbuesman]

I would just chuck the tubing in a vice and use my sawzall to cut the tubing. fastest way I can think of with the tools I have. Then grind it pretty and grind the inside to keep the edge on the Outside diameter. What is the diameter of the tubing you are using there? Are you happy with this size? I am just looking at the one you use here. is there any improvements you think might be good? maybe a wood handle? I could turn one fast on the lathe.

[cookingupastory]

I haven't seen it in person for quite awhile...it is Linda's tool. My rough guess is 1/4" diameter. I think anything to help you hold the grip, would be a welcome improvement. I'd love to 'see' it when you finish, desertblbuesman!

This video will come in handy for using all the squash and tomatoes I'll be growing next year. Anyone know where to buy one of those squash scrappers? I can't think of anything that I could use as a substitute tool.

[cookingupastory]

Linda said she has seen them in kitchen supply stores. Or, try searching online. I found one on amazon that's called a zucchini corer. I did a halfway-okay job using a standard potato peeler...but it can scrape out only so much. Those are just some ideas, HighPlainsWoman!

why do we have to have a bad apple in the box, eh? this kind of comment is not only insulting to the humble people of the world but racism at its best!

Grow up Garys737, go get a life mate

As she said, it's slow food.

Why do it faster?

[Anika A]
