Mahshi, stuffed zucchini and bell peppers

Mahshi is stuffed roasted zucchini and bell peppers, in a bed of tomato sauce. The stuffing is spiced minced meat mixed with rice. This is a special occasion food cooked in South Sudan, North Africa and Mediterranean countries.

How to make Mahshi

Assorted bell peppers and zucchini, deseeded and cored. South Sudan food, Sudanese food, Mediterranean cuisine.

First, obtain an assortment of bell peppers. The red, orange and yellow ones really add color and taste to the food. Deseed and core the inside. Keep the top, which we will use to cover the stuffing. Obtain some zucchini. Short and stout ones are best. I clipped my zucchini, as shown in the photo above, to make them shorter. I used the coring tool pictured above to core the inside, creating space for the stuffing. One can also use eggplants and large tomatoes for this meal.

Second, make your minced meat stuffing.  For this recipe I used 2.5 pounds of ground beef. I chopped a red onion into fine pieces. Added 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Then added salt and spices such as coriander, cumin, and black pepper. All these were mixed with the ground beef. Fry the ground beef, just enough to remove the redness. Drain the juices and set aside to make tomato sauce. We want the minced meat to be slightly dry.

 

Third: Boil ½ cup of white rice in water for 10 minutes. This is just to soften the rice. Add this rice to precooked minced meat and mix well.

 

Fourth: Make your tomato sauce as directed in the recipe details below. This is a thick tomato sauce to coat the bed of the pan and infuse into our mahshi, keeping it moist and succulent.

Fifth: Stuff the cored vegetables with the minced meat and rice stuffing. Pour the tomato sauce onto the bottom of the pan. Place in an oven and bake covered at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1.5 hours to 2 hours, until the  peppers are soft and roasted. During the last 10 minutes of baking, remove the cover and roast. Serve.

About Me

Hi there. My name is Noela Mogga. I am a physician, mother, food blogger. I was born in South Sudan. I plan to showcase tasty South Sudan food recipes, traditional customs, and natural beauty regimens. When I am not busy practicing Anesthesiology in my adopted state of Texas, I can be found whipping delicious meals for my husband and children.

South Sudan Cuisine

South Sudan Cuisine is heavily influenced by East African and Arab cuisine. At the basic level meals are meat or fish stews with a vegetarian side dish eaten with Asida, a thick porridge made from sorghum or millet. Unique to South Sudan cuisine is the use of peanut butter to thicken sauces. South Sudanese cuisine is generally complex and labor and time consuming. Women spend the better part of the day cooking the day's meals. Sweet hot tea is consumed at any time of the day, for breakfast, after a meal in the afternoon, offered to guests and at every occasion.

How well do you know your green plants? This plant How well do you know your green plants? This plant which we call pondu. Fun facts: cassava has a poison called cyanide so it must be cooked for an extremely long time such as 3 hours. The leaves are cooked into a meal called pondu, usually with dried fish and palm oil. Pondu is a specialty of the Western Equatoria Azande tribes.

South Sudan like many indigenous populations is blessed with a wide variety of agricultural plants at the disposal of the local communities. Did you know that in many Western populations the breadth and variety of produce are reduced to a handful? Basically, those not considered popular or commercially viable are eliminated from rotation, and given that the locals are removed from their land, only having access to produce through a grocery store; a large section of plants are lost forever. As we know many plants have medicinal uses, and some in our traditional areas have not been discovered yet! They contain micro-nutrients and powerful anti-oxidants that protects against aging and cancer.
