Dried zucchini is a treasured ingredient across Middle Eastern and Mediterranean kitchens, particularly in Levantine cooking. These small courgettes are carefully hollowed and dried to preserve their flavour and texture, allowing them to be stored for long periods and prepared whenever a comforting stuffed dish is desired.
Before cooking, the dried zucchini are soaked in warm water to rehydrate and soften. Once tender, they are traditionally filled with fragrant mixtures of rice, herbs, minced meat or vegetables, then gently simmered in tomato sauce, lemon broth, or spiced stock. The drying process concentrates the courgette’s flavour, giving stuffed dishes a deeper, richer taste than fresh zucchini alone.
Known in Arabic as كوسا مجففة للمحشي (Kousa Mujafafa lil-Mahshi), these dried courgettes are essential for authentic dishes such as kousa mahshi, mahshi mixed vegetables, or slow-cooked stuffed vegetable stews enjoyed across Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan.
Extra Product Tips
• Soak in warm water for 20–30 minutes before stuffing.
• Rinse thoroughly after soaking to remove any drying residue.
• Perfect when cooked alongside stuffed aubergines, vine leaves, or peppers in a mixed mahshi pot.
