This dish is called Kousa, also known as Dolma. There are so many beautiful versions of Kousa across the Middle East - each with its own story. This version is close to my heart as it’s my Armenian mother-in-law’s Syrian-Lebanese recipe. It’s comfort food at home, but also a hosting favorite - cozy enough for family dinners, elegant & hearty for guests when they come over. Tender grey squash is hollowed out and filled with a savory mix of rice, ground beef, tomato, garlic, and Aleppo pepper, then simmered in a fragrant broth infused with lemon and mint until soft and full of flavor. Here’s how I make it & always remember to adjust with love and taste to your liking: FILLING: 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or 90/10 - your preference) 1 cup Calrose rice, washed and drained 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste Salt and black pepper, to taste 1 tbsp Aleppo pepper ⅓ cup garlic paste (my own preference) FOR THE BROTH: Fresh lemon juice, to taste Dried mint, to taste Salt, to taste TO COOK: Arrange the stuffed squash snug in a pot, placing a small plate on top to keep them from floating. Pour in enough water to cover the squash, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low until the squash is tender. Add salt, mint, and lemon juice to the broth, tasting as you go until it’s balanced and to your liking. Simmer gently for 45 minutes until the squash is tender but still holds its shape. Avoid overcooking - you want each one soft, but intact. Enjoy! xo #homemade #kousa #dolma #hosting #hostess
Twisted Knot Dinner Rolls — Creamy, buttery, and twisted into comfort — these are my take on the 1-hour soft dinner rolls recipe (with a fun twist!) inspired by @gimmesomeoven Ingredients: Bread 1 cup water 2 Tbsp melted butter ½ cup milk 2 Tbsp honey 1 Tbsp active dry yeast 3½ to 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp fine sea salt Extra melted butter for brushing on top Butter Compound: 2 sticks butter (softened) 1 tbsp parsley 1 tbsp oregano 1 tsp garlic 1. Pre-heat oven to 400°F. 2. And a bowl of melted butter, add water, milk and honey. Stir to combined and heat in microwave for about a minute until warm to touch but not hot. Around 110 degrees. 3. Pour the butter mixture into a standing mixer. Add yeast, and combine with fork and let it foam for 5 minutes. 4. Add 3&1/2 cups flour + salt, mix/knead and dough pulls from bowl. If there is still sticky, add another half cup of flour. 5. Into an oiled bowl,et dough rise for 15 mins (covered) 6. While dough is rising, prepare butter compound. 6. On a floured surface, roll dough into rectangle. And spread butter compound all over. Fold in sides and cut 1 inch sections. Shape each piece by rolling into a rope and tying a simple knot (or twist into your favourite knot shape). 7. Place into the baking sheet, cover, let rise 15-20 mins. 8. Bake 15 mins until golden. 9. Brush with extra melted butter. Serve These knotty little bundles are soft, buttery & ready in just one hour.
