Ingredients
- Assorted Veggies (zucchini, small eggplants, or bell peppers)
- Kosher Salt (to taste)
- Ground Meat (1 lb, beef or lamb)
- Small Onion (1, minced)
- Black Pepper (pinch)
- White Pepper (pinch)
- Allspice (1 tsp)
- Coriander (1 tsp)
- Cardamom (pinch)
- Aleppo Pepper (pinch)
- Rice (1 cup, medium or short grain)
- Fresh Herbs (1 cup, parsley and cilantro)
- Olive Oil (2 tbsp)
- Garlic (3-4 cloves, minced)
- Tomato Paste (5 tbsp)
- Water (6 cups)
Instructions
- Prepare the Veggies: Start by cutting the tops off your zucchini, eggplants, and any other veggies you’re using. Hollow them out with a small spoon or melon baller, sprinkle them with kosher salt, and set aside.
- Cook the Meat Mixture: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the ground meat, allspice, coriander, cardamom, and both black and white pepper. Cook until pink is gone, then add the minced onion and continue cooking until translucent.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked meat mixture with rice and fresh herbs. Mix well.
- Prepare the Veggies: Rinse the salted veggies under cool water to remove excess salt and pat dry. Sear the eggplant skins for extra flavor.
- Stuff the Veggies: Place the hollowed veggies upright in a pot. Spoon the filling into each one, packing snugly.
- Prepare the Sauce: In the pan, mix the tomato paste with salt and pepper, then add 6 cups of water. Bring to a simmer.
- Cook the Veggies: Pour the sauce over the stuffed veggies and cover. Cook for 25-30 minutes until tender.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
Serve with a side of creamy yogurt and a fresh salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
