Moorish stuffed zucchini
The name's a pun--this recipe is both Moorish in its flavors, and More-ish in its appeal; the combination of simple ingredients work synergistically, yielding nuanced and compelling tastes. In other words, it's hard to stop with just one serving.
<br />This vegetarian dish became a family favorite during one summer when friends and neighbors repeatedly gifted us with oversized zucchini...you know, the size of baseball bats. One can only make so much zucchini bread! The inspiration came from Eva Zane's "Middle Eastern Cookery."
<br />This filling is open to improvisation: I like a cracked wheat and green lentil combination, but have also enjoyed it with brown rice, barley, or whole wheat couscous, paired with small beans such as pintos or black beans.
<br />This also freezes well.
