- 1 kg zucchinis
- minced meat
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1 dry onion, finely chopped
- crushed garlic
- lemon

- Norma Al Ali
Method
- Wash the zucchinis and remove the pulp.
- Prepare the meat filling by frying the minced meat with the onion well, then use it to stuff the zucchinis.
- Fry the stuffed zucchinis in oil for a few minutes, then add about two cups of water, salt, black pepper and a pinch of onion powder (you can add a chicken stock cube if desired).
- Simmer the zucchinis for a while, then lift them out of the water and set aside.
- Whisk 1/2 cup tahini with crushed garlic, lemon, fresh coriander and dried coriander; mix the tahini with some of the zucchini cooking broth, then return the zucchinis to the pot with the tahini and leave them over low heat for 10 minutes so the zucchinis cook through and absorb the tahini flavor.
- Serve the Kousa Ablama with cooked rice...
