What is a Courgette

A courgette is simply a green summer squash! Smooth, edible skin and a tender inside. I love this vegetable!

It is abundant in the Summer months and this is a perfect meal to make with green courgettes. It's filling however still light.

You will find them called zucchini here in the United States but courgettes in France or Britain.

Middle Eastern Stuffed Courgettes

Zucchini is a common vegetable used in Middle Eastern cooking. I love using it because it's easy to find and delicious!

Dishes like Kousa Mahshi are one that comes to mind that has a lot of the same ingredients as these stuffed courgettes. Beef, spices, and zucchini! It makes a delicious and healthy dinner done in a pinch.

This is what you'll need...

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 courgettes (or green zucchini)
  • salt, pepper, cinnamon
  • 1 yellow onion

So simple!

How To Bake Courgettes

To make this stuffed zucchini squash recipe you will need one tool to make the job easier! A zucchini corer! You can find these on Amazon and you will use it more often than you think.

  • Cut the zucchini in half and core them
  • Bake the zucchini at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or so while you prep the filling.
  • Chop the onion
  • Sauté the onion with a little olive oil in a large pan.
  • Add the ground beef and spices. Cook until meat is fully cooked through.
  • Remove the courgettes from the oven and evenly stuff with the filling. You will likely have extra filling.
  • Return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
  • cored zucchini in a baking dish
  • ground beef and onion in a skillet

Do you peel the squash before eating?

That is one of the beautiful things about this squash! Its skin is completely edible which makes for very easy prep. So no, you do not have to peel courgettes before cooking or eating.

Like in this Italian Zucchini Noodle salad, I prepare it with the skin on and it's delicious.
