Stuffed Zucchini

These stuffed zucchini are similar to how we made then when I was growing up in Albania. We called them ‘kunguj të mbushur’. Usually the light green zucchini is not very common where I live now so I had to make my recipe and adapted it a little bit to fit the quantity of zucchinis I bought.

      If you seal and sterilize the bottle, unopened it’ll last couple of years. Once you open a bottle then estimates are 6 months to 1 year. I try to push to the end of the year by keeping my opened bottle (cork or lead on), in the refrigerator.

      @SonilaZarate 28 днів тому

      I grease it very lightly with either olive oil or butter. For softer pitas you can brush them with butter once you remove from skillet. I love cast iron for this recipe, if you don’t have cast iron you need to use a heavy nonstick skillet. You need good heat distribution

    Hi Sonila, we have new neighbors from Albania and we're making this dish tomorrow to share with them. We've made Turkish borek before but one thing we never really get 100% is the yogurt dipping sauce. Right now we use a spice mix from Germany called dill-krauter and then add some extra dill. Any recommendations for a more authentic yogurt sauce?

    • @SonilaZarate
      @SonilaZarate Місяць тому

      Do you have strained yogurt or a creamy style labneh? Add diced cucumbers, fresh dill, minced garlic, salt and olive oil to get the dip!! Albanians also make a yogurt style cold soup with same ingredients called tarator: whole milk yogurt, cucumber, garlic, salt, dill and olive oil to accompany most summer dishes. Some regions in Albania might add red wine vinegar as topping to the dip but after mixing it you can’t even tell it’s there. Final thought on the recipe, yogurt might make a difference, whole milk yogurt with no flavor is best. Greek yogurt is 2nd best but you might need to thin it a bit for the cold soup or strain it more for the dip. And finally Albanians appreciate hospitality so so much, it’s important to our culture. We love hosting and sharing our table even when we don’t have much, and when we have some we go overboard and really enjoy it sharing:)))). They’ll appreciate you going out of your way to show them hospitality!! Let me know if I can help with any tips. Enjoy your dinner:).

      Hi, when I did the video I placed it under the correct product because it was in my past orders list. Sellers sometimes will list new products under same sku when they run out of inventory. So instead of creating new listing, they just change current listing. I have no idea why but yes now video doesn’t match product. If you have Amazon app, take a screenshot of the rug in my video and do a picture search in the Amazon app, it’s not difficult (upper right hand corner in the app). Maybe another seller sells that same rug and it’s not out of stock. Good luck!
