Lebanese Cooking: How To Make Summer Squash with Rice
Posted by admin on December 29th, 2006 at 08:29pm
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.

Every family has their own variations of the recipe..and we tended to use baby summer (yellow) squash as they’re more tender…she’s wonderful, though- reminds me of my sitoo and my family cooking this…
look at the Middle Eastern henna on her hand!!!
we used much more of a rice/beef mixture- my gidoo didn’t like lamb…
The “corer” tool - my dad did the same thing- made them out of pipes and eventually pvc..
Oh, I LOVE stuffed cousa!!!! Thank you for posting this!!!

Yes, peaches214! I just posted ‘Prepping Artichokes’ and I’m editing ‘Artichoke Pesto’ right now. In addition, I have others in the works. Any food item in particular you’d like to learn something about?

21. toulouse007 | January 29th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
really thanks, i am overseas and been a long time i didnt eat some good meals….
22. hellophoenix | January 30th, 2007 at 12:28 am
One should use only “Kousa” (Lebanese Squash) for this dish or for any other Middle Eastern squash dish. Also, the “squash core” can be found in Middle Eastern grocery stores, don’t use the one for the apples,,:-)
23. hellophoenix | January 30th, 2007 at 1:29 am
yes, very similar to many Middle Eastern recipes. “Siyeme” means fasting in Arabic and this dish is usually eaten during the Eastern Orthodox lent since meat is not allowed.
24. cookingupastory | February 1st, 2007 at 6:42 am
I just checked Linda’s recipe, and it says:
“1 cup rice, soaked and rinsed”
I’m not sure how long you soak the rice, perhaps it could be soaking while you core the squash. But it wasn’t cooked prior to adding to other ingredients.
