Print Recipe

Believe it or not, you can make these delicious vegan stuffed courgettes in less than thirty minutes. The secret is in using French courgettes instead of the small ones and they come out just as delicious. These lovely courgettes are so easy to core out that they can be done using a small spoon in less than 5 minutes!

 

Normally, It is so time consuming to core out the small courgettes so substituting these wonderful courgettes is the perfect. They taste just as good and look totally fabulous!

Ingredients
  • 500g French Courgettes
  • 4 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1tbsp pomegranate syrup
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 tsp salt

𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠

  • 1cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup chopped mint
  • 1 diced medium sized onion
  • 2 medium sized finely diced tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups of brown basmati rice
  • 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Olive oil

 

Method
  1. Cut the top of the French courgettes and keep the top part on the side. With a small spoon carve out the inside of the courgettes and place them in a small bowl (you can make courgette frittata with them…see my previous post).
  2. Add olive oil to a large pot and fry the onions until translucent. Add the tomatoes and the rice and fry for a minute or two. Add the rest of the ingredients and fry for another two minutes. Set aside to cool.
  3. Place the stuffing in a strainer and keep the juice to add to the pot when cooking the courgettes.
  4. Stuff the cored out courgettes with the cooled stuffing and arrange them in a large heavy bottom pot, open side up covering them with the top part of the courgette.
  5. In a small bowl mix the tomato paste, lemons juice, pomegranate syrup, lemon and salt, with enough water to just about cover the courgettes.
  6. Bring to a boil cover and simmer for 40 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked.

This is how I start my day with this anti-Inflammatory drink. How do you start yours?

2inch piece of fresh turmeric 
Small piece of ginger 
1 carrot
Spring time in the levant means lots of anticipation for numerous delicious fruits and vegetables that come out once a year. 
The long awaited #loquats and fresh #greenalmonds are an absolute favorite. 
Loquats are sweet slightly tart with notes of citrus. They are used as ornamental trees in the west but in our part of the world they are coveted and dreamt about. 

Fresh green almonds taste like I ripe peaches, are crunchy and tart and dipped in salt they make the ultimate snack. 

So find yourself an arabic grocer next to your house and get yourself these delicious delicacies. Hurry though since they won’t be around for long.

Growing up Easter was a  huge event. As a little girl the fuss my mother made over my Easter & Palm Sunday dresses & shoes was enough for me to proclaim it as my favorite time of year. My siblings & I were always dressed  to the nines on those two days and on Palm Sunday I carried, what seemed, the most colossal  and intricately molded candle adorned with the most  beautiful of satin bows. 

Even as a child, Easter Sunday signaled a new beginning. That Sunday, meant we were celebrating a newness. A rebirth of the seasons. A looking forward to sunny beautiful days ahead,  spent in the beautiful mountains of Lebanon or on the beach with our cousins. 
This feeling of newness & hope, reverberated in everything that my mother did to the lead up to Easter Sunday & culminated in our Sunday feast. Our Easter brunch table was  made up of colored eggs, rose water infused rice pudding, home made string cheese, brioche bread & the intricately decorated & time consuming “maamoul” cookies. These cookies were the main attraction, & my mom had a knack of making the sweet semolina outer layer so buttery & flaky that from that fist bite you were hooked. She would stuff them with date paste, which were my favorites  or chopped walnuts. 

Today, as the world starts to look at the pandemic through a rear view mirror, this Easter is even more poignant. It comes at a time when as a world we collectively  abstained from our  daily indulgences & fasted from even the simplest of pleasures mainly our own freedoms and the loss of touching & seeing our loved ones. 

Just as with Easter Sunday,  I’m hopeful that this loss will lead us into something new & that the time locked away & spent reflecting inwards, we have shed many bad habits to enable us to die in our old ways of living & resurrect into our new ones. 

So, let this Easter be a celebration not just to the people who believe in Christ but for all humankind. May it be the start of a new beginning that  brings a rebirth of a new found bond in the human race, where the simple pleasures of life become cherished again, steeped in a blind belief that as human beings, we shall all, Rise, again. 

Wishing you a Blessed Easter 🐣
