2 kilos of kousa ( around 30 piece )
\n2 cups of medium rice washed & dried
\n250g of minced meat
\n1\/2 tablespoon of 7 spice
\nHandful of pine nuts
\n4-5 tablespoon of ghee
\n7 crushed garlic- 4 for sauce & 3 for stuffing
\n1 jar of tomato paste ( 500g )
\n1 tablespoon of dried mint ( optional )
\n1 onion diced very finely<\/p>\n
Core and wash the kousa. Leave to dry while preparing the stuffing.
\nHalf Cook the minced meat till lightly browned whilst breaking the meat till very finely .
\nIn a separate small pan, melt the ghee and cook the pine nuts till golden brown.
\nIn a bowl add the rice, cooked meat, pine nuts with its melted butter, 7 spice, 3 crushed garlic & salt. Mix till Combined well.
\nStart stuffing the zucchini with the rice mixture. Be careful to not Over stuff the kousa all the way, make sure to leave about 1 1\/2 cm space for the rice to expand.
\nOnce done, in a big pot fry off the onion & garlic till translucent. Add the whole jar of tomato paste ( add less if you like the soup to be thin ) and pour in around 2 litres or more of boiling water.
\nI used a whole kettle and abit.
\nKeep mixing till the tomato paste has dissolved thru and is boiling. Season with salt then Add in the kousa slowly into the tomato sauce and leave them to boil on medium heat for about 45 min- 1 hour.
\nFor the last 10 min, add the mint & squeeze of half a lemon.
\nTest out a kousa by using a fork to see if it goes in thru easily & rice is cooked.
\nFinally once all done, seperate the kousa from the sauce or it will expand and break.
\noptional- squeeze lemon into the sauce for some tang if you like<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
