Unstuffed Kusa

by Jenan Zammar October 18, 2021
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Kusa is a middle eastern dish that is full of flavour but it takes some time to make. It’s made of grey squash that is cored and stuffed with a beef & rice mixture.

Have you ever craved a specific meal but didn’t have the time to make it? This is exactly what happened when this Unstuffed Kusa recipe was born! I had some squash and decided to just throw everything into a pot (well not actually throw it but you know what I mean 😉 and cook everything together instead of stuffing each individual squash. It turned out amazing and tastes JUST like the stuffed kusa!

Talk about a win!!! Hope you love it as much as my family does!
