Koosa: Middle Eastern Stuffed Squash

Last year I went to a small greek festival in San Francisco. At the event, I bought a plate stuffed middle eastern zucchini simmered in a rich tomato sauce. OMG!

This was honestly one of the best things I ate in 2019…

Last night I was on the phone with my girlfriend. our deep conversation quickly took a turn, when she brought up the stuffed zucchinis. After we got off the phone, I became obsessed and watched random Koosa making Youtube videos and read a bunch of recipes.

& all day today all I could think about were the stuffed zucchinis…

This recipe would normally yield 4, but I had already ate two servings in one sitting.
