Vegan Kousa w Waraa | كوسا و ورق Stuffed Zucchini & Rolled Grape Leaves Ingredients: 8 small (grey) zucchinis, cored 80 grape leaves, jarred For the Filling 3/4 cup TVP, rehydrated 1 tbsp seven spice 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 1/2 short grain rice 2 tbsp vegetable oil 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses The Rest 10 garlic cloves, peeled 3 tomatoes, thick slices Water/Vegetable broth Instructions: (1) Prepare the vegan meat filling: Rehydrate the TVP in hot vegetable broth, per package instructions. Remove from heat. Mix in the spices. Add the rice, vegetable oil, and pomegranate molasses. (2) Prepare the Kousa: Snip off the tops and gently core out the insides of zucchinis. Rinse and soak in a bowl of water for a few minutes. Prepare the Waraa: remove grape leaves from the jar, separate, rinse under cold water, snip off the ends, then lay on flat surface - soft side down. (3) Using a small teaspoon, scoop out the filling, and stuff into the cored zucchinis. Tap a few times at the bottom, then gently push down the filling with your finger, leaving 1/2 inch empty at the top. Add a teaspoon of the filling to the centre of each grape leaf. Fold over the bottom, tuck in the sides, and roll it up. (4) Layer the pot with tomatoes, rolled grape leaves, and stuffed zucchinis. Stuff the garlic in between the Kousa w Waraa. Add more tomato slices to secure everything in the pot. Add water/vegetable broth (just enough to cover the top of zucchinis), and 2 tsp pomegranate molasses. Cover with a heat-proof plate (flipped upside down), push down to hold everything in place. (5) Bring to a boil over med-high heat. Once boiling, turn heat down to med-low, cover with a lid, and continue cooking for about 2 hours - until everything is tender, and most liquid is absorbed. (6) Place a flat serving plate (with sides) upside-down on top of the pot. Lift up the pot while holding the handles, and flip to drop everything into the serving plate. Drizzle 3 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed), sprinkle with salt and pepper (to taste), and serve immediately!

Comment your favourite jam flavour👇🏼 _______________________ Homemade Peach Jam 🍑 Nothing better than freshly picked out fruit turned into jam! Depending on how big your batch is, and how long you want it to last for, you can adjust the sugar levels to preserve the jam and have it set properly. We used 2-part peaches for 1-part sugar, since we had a big batch that made over 4 very large jars. We know we won’t run through it all for at least a few months, if not longer. Tip: You can use less sugar if making a smaller batch. Go for 3:1 fruit-to-sugar ratio, using weight (not cups) as measurement. #demeals #demeal #homemadejam #fruitjam #peachjam #homemadejams #jam #jams
