Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

    Flavours were 5/5!! Unfortunately, my courgettes were a bit watery. Definite repeat.

    The meat in this dish is absolutely amazing.

    We also really liked these, using lamb. We also added a bit of rice, as just meat felt heavy. Definite repeat; one of the better stuffed zucchini recipes we’ve made.

    Very tasty. Made it vegetarian by using soy crumbles which reduced cooking time for filling. The warm spices, sweet/sour pomegranate molasses and sharp nuttiness of the topping worked well together. Will make again.

    We loved this. It's not a super attractive dish but the flavor makes up for it!

    Delicious. Everything about this dish is wonderful- full of flavor, appealing to the eye and senses, and hearty. While we were eating, My husband remarked more than once that he wants to have it again. I used ground lamb and omitted the pinch of cayenne. Served with Everyday Palestinian salad from the same cookbook.
