Kousa ablama bil laban could be the ultimate comfort food that has sustained generations in Lebanon and the Levant countries; it provides deep nourishment and sense of home, the recipe embodies two of my favorite things, cooked yogurt plus zucchini or grey squash. Kousa ablama bil laban made with tender grey squash filled with cooked minced meat and simmered in yogurt, no rice involved in the filling, unlike kousa bil laban. My grandmother often made it on special occasions alongside shish barak and kibbeh bil Laban; the memories came flooding back, a recipe worth keeping alive, it is hearty enough to eat it alone but works well to serve it with Lebanese rice and vermicelli, it is long been linked to comfort food. Link to the printable recipe: https://hadiaslebanesecuisine.com/blog/kousa-ablama-bil-laban-minced-meat-stuffed-zucchini-in-yogurt/ Link to the rice and vermicelli on youtube: https://youtu.be/kcr3YW778kg?si=G55NciOMOwrdV4O- Ingredients For the yogurt 2 kgs / 4.5 lbs / 2 liters plain whole milk yogurt 6 garlic cloves crushed 3 tablespoons cornstarch diluted in 3 cups of water Salt to taste 2 teaspoons dried mint For the meat filling 750 grams / 1.6 lb minced beef or lamb 1 medium sized onion finely chopped 1/4 cup pine nuts 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper 1/4 cup sunflower oil or ghee Salt to taste 1.5 kg small gry squash/ zucchini 1 cup canola or olive oil, or ghee to fry the zucchini Garnish 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon dried mint

Lebanese-Style Mashed Potato Salad This mayonnaise-free Lebanese mashed potato salad with a garlic, dried mint, lemon juice and olive oil is a flavorsome salad or side I grew up eating, it is a simple, flavorful, nutritious and perfect for summer barbecues. It’s the ultimate easy, flexible summer side dish, and I have a feeling you are going to love every bite. Ready to cook up your new favorite approach to mashed potatoes? Let’s get started. Meantime, you are going to make a dressing to be added to the mashed potatoes, and that’s where flavor comes in. No butter and cream is involved, you are going to mix up some lemon juice and olive oil and dried mint and that’s what you are going to mash those tender potatoes with. Olive oil provides a rich, smooth fat base, lemon juice adds sharp brightness to cut through that richness, and garlic adds a deep, savory punch, but the deeper flavor notes come from dried mint. Link to the printable recipe: https://hadiaslebanesecuisine.com/blog/lebanese-style-mashed-potato-salad/ 2 kg/ 4lb 8 oz Russet or Yukon Gold or any starchy variety 2 1/2 tablespoons dried mint 8 garlic cloves 1/2 cup olive oil 1/2 cup lemon juice Salt to taste

Mutabal Silik
In the Lebanese culture throwing away food is a bad omen, our ancestors created a recipe for every part of food, including the stalks of Swiss chard, they turned them into a delicious dip, known locally as mutabal silik, little known in the West but deserves a spot on, and should earn the right to be included among the favorite dips alongside hummus, baba ghanouj and muhammara.
