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.
