Mahshi recipe

Egyptian Mahshi Koronb is a traditional dish of tender cabbage leaves filled with a flavorful mix of short-grain rice, fresh herbs, and spices, then slowly cooked in a tangy tomato broth until perfectly infused and comforting.

The word mahshi in Arabic means “stuffed” so kousa mahshi would mean stuffed zucchini. Arabs in general and especially Palestinians love to stuff anything from meats to vegetables. We even stuff our meats with stuffed vegetables ;). Stuffed vegetables are definitely one of my favorites. From zucchini, to eggplants, carrots, onions, cabbage, grape leaves, potatoes, tomatoes and even cucumbers can be stuffed. We use a special tool called “makwara” to hallow the veggies out. But make no mistake…

For a little variety, replace ground beef with lamb, turkey or pork. Serve with plain yoghurt, rice and unleavened bread.

Egyptian cuisine consists of several local traditional dishes like ta’meya and hamam mahshi which is a pigeon stuffed dish you don’t normally see.
