Stuffed Are3 (Lebanese Wild Squash) is a delicious and comforting meal, especially when the are3 is fresh from the garden and on the smaller side. Personally, I prefer it over the classic mehshi koussa😮‍💨there’s something about the texture of wild squash and the extra lemony flavor that makes it irresistible. If you enjoy bright, zesty dishes with a traditional twist, give this one a try😃it’s absolutely delicious 😋

Ingredients:
⭐️10–12 Lebanese courgettes (are3)
⭐️Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
⭐️1 medium can tomato sauce (use half to color the broth)
⭐️11/2cup water
⭐️100 g basmati rice
⭐️250 g minced lamb or beef
⭐️2 large lemons (juiced)
⭐️6 cloves garlic, minced
⭐️1 tbsp dried mint
⭐️1 tbsp verjuice (optional, for serving)
Method:
•Peel the courgettes and trim the end. Using a vegetable corer, carefully hollow them out, making sure not to pierce the bottoms.
•Rinse the hollowed courgettes and soak them briefly in lemony water to prevent browning.
•In a bowl, mix the rice with the minced meat. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
•Stuff each courgette with the rice and meat mixture, filling to the top packing tightly
•Arrange the stuffed courgettes vertically in a large pot.
•Pour in tomato sauce to lightly color the broth (about half the can), 11/2 cup of water, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper.mixed together
•Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer gently for about 30 minutes, or until the courgettes are tender and the rice is fully cooked.
•In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the crashed garlic, dried mint, and lemon juice to the pot. Simmer briefly to blend the flavors.
•Serve warm with plenty of sauce and a spoonful of verjuice, if desired.
