Ahron, this looks great! I've looked at it twice now, and I definitely want to make it. We are planting zucchini this year, and I also have one winter squash left over from last year. It's a "turban" squash, and I think it would work well if I hollow it out and fill it with this wonderful-looking mixture.
Would you characterise this as an Israeli food, or is it found throughout the Middle East? ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

Ahron, WOW ... one of my all time favorites during March and April, zucchini season, actually green season throughout Iberia ... Asparagus, Zucchini, Caluiflower, Broccoli, Green Beans ( Romanesque wide ) and French style slim like a cigarette; amongst numerous others. This is definitely on my short term list ... and your Marinara was divine ... I like the " GADGET " for removing the interiors of the zucchini or corgettes ... FABULOUS ... MAKES IT SO SIMPLE ... Kind regards. Margaux. ------------- Volamos a Mediterraneo, un paraiso que conquista su gente u su cocina. |

Tas and Aron. It is very common i Turkey; Greece; Sicily and Iberia too. The rice; spices; herbs and meat mixture change a bit. Delicious in all its variations. ------------- Volamos a Mediterraneo, un paraiso que conquista su gente u su cocina. |

Sounds great, Ahron. And I love your new gadget. Interesting sidelight: In America, stuffed squash usually is made by splitting them lengthwise, removing the seeds, and filling the hollows with the stuffing. Sort of like boats. But in the 18th century, in England and the colonies, they did it the way you do. The ends were sewn back onto the marrow, though, to act as a plug so the filling didn't cook out. |

That is a terrific looking dish Ahron...to me stuffed squash is pure comfort food. I'd be all over that in a heartbeat...a nice crusty bread to soak up the sauce with, and you're in heaven. ------------- Go ahead...play with your food! |
