stuffed zucchini with yogurt sauce and fluffy rice Sheikh el-Mahshi literally translates to stuffed Sheikh-- a sheikh referring to a religious or old man. I do not understand some Arab dish names but it's fun to say anyway.

Start by coring your Mexican squash (like a zucchini but smaller) and frying them in a shallow fryer until they're almost completely cooked through. Leave them to cool on a sheet lined with paper towels. Make your filling by finely dicing your onion and sauteing it on the stove top in the olive oil. Once the onion starts to take on a golden color, add the ground beef and cook through. Season with cinnamon, allspice, salt, pepper to taste. Set aside. Optional!! You can add pine nuts to your mixture if you're feeling fancy. Prepare your sauce by mixing the cornstarch in the water and adding all sauce ingredients into a deep pot. Use an immersion blender to blend the egg well into the sauce and to mix all the ingredients together. Cook the sauce on a medium heat, constantly stirring until the sauce starts to bubble. While you wait for the sauce to boil, stuff your cooled zucchini with the meat filling. When the sauce boils, gently add your stuffed zucchini into the sauce. Let the flavors mix and let the zucchini finish cooking in the sauce, about 10 minutes. Serve with vermicelli rice or plain rice and garnish with parsley.
