Stuffed Lebonise Zucchini

Получилось вкусно, хоть я и осттупила от рецепта добавив сердцевины зуккини в фарш. Это была ошибка, поскольку фарш получился водянистый и мясо совсем не чувствовалось. В следующий раз делать строго по рецепту. Соус получился прекрасный, ела без сметаны.

Serves: 2 (makes 8 squash)

1/8 cup/30g/1ozs. raw short grain rice, soaked for 30-45 minutes (or overnight)(японский)
125g/4ozs. beef mince
1/2 onion, peeled and finely diced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely diced
1/4 cup parsley, dill and coriander, finely chopped
1.5 teaspoons baharat*
1/2 teaspoon salt
450g/1lb Lebanese zucchini (around 8 or so)(у меня было 3)
2 cherry tomatoes, quartered

For Sauce

1/2 onion, peeled and finely diced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely diced
400g/14ozs. tin diced tomatoes
1.5 cups/375mls/12.7flozs. beef stock
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4-1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepepr
Juice of 1/2 a lemon

If you don't have baharat please use 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Mix the soaked and drained rice, beef mince, onion, garlic, herbs, baharat and salt together in a bowl. Use a manakra to hollow out the zucchini (see instructions above). Try to hollow them out as much as possible without breaking the sides as they'll be tastier with more filling. Fill the zucchini with the rice and meat filling making sure to push down on it so that it's compact. Fill the zucchini 3/4 of the way and then stuff a quarter cherry tomato in the end to stop the filling from spilling out. Repeat with the remaining zucchini.

Then make the sauce. Fry the onion in the oil until softened. Add the garlic and fry for a minute. Then add the tomatoes, beef stock, tomato paste and sugar, salt and pepper. Taste for seasoning adding more if needed. Place the zucchini in the pan and cover with a plate (to weigh them down, we want them cooking in the sauce). Place the lid on and cook on medium heat (4 out of 10) for 1 hour. Drizzle with lemon juice and serve.

Moroccan Meatballs

Очень вкусно! Просто супер. Я делала с индейкой. Сформировала маленькие котлетки, обжарила с двух сторон и недолго потушила в обычной итальянской маринара соус. Подавала с орзо и марокканским салатом.

Add oil to the same pan.

Add the chopped onion to a non-metallic bowl, squeeze over the juice of half a lemon, season with salt and pepper, and stir well.

½ white onion
½ lemon
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Let the onion sit for 5 minutes (I use this time to do the rest of my chopping), then add the remaining ingredients.
3 tomatoes

1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh chives

Stir well to combine and taste the salad. Add more salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
