Easy & Addictive Zucchini and Garlic (Lib Koosa) | Sahtein!

[@lindalou7344]

I miss seeing your videos so I’m rewatching previous ones. You are truly an artist…in how you do your videos and your skills in the kitchen.

[@anyaroz8619]

it's a 2 AM. Sitting in Barcelona still jet-lagged. Have two gorgeous "calabasa" in the fridge from the market. Can't wait till tomorrow to make this dish. Thank you. I Love the simplicity of this recipe and have no doubt it's going to be delicious.

[@bauerhausws7611]

I go back to your videos for the food, your joy in your heritage and our joy in sharing both.

[@creakyjoints130]

I genuinely thank you Nadia for spreading our culture 🇵🇸 just by being you and the delicious recipes you make you are making a change in this world you should know this. Thank you very much for starting this channel :`)

[@debbybrady1246]

My paternal grandparents came from Lebanon. I grew up eating so many of the dishes that you cook, but I have learned so many more from you. I'm glad I found you on KZbin.

[@hli1787]

Shookran Nadia! Love love your representation of our beautiful 🇵🇸 Palestine. You’re a treasure!!!!!

[@edprotas4148]

This dish is what I call "world flavors". The more of these we take in, the richer all cultures become. Thanks for sharing.

[@lorenlash9174]

Just made this tonight with poached eggs and roasted Brussel sprouts. I'll be making this dish for the rest of my life, thank you to the moon and back! Sooooooooo delicious!

[@kyle5709]

This looks delicious. I’m making it Tonight!!! Thank for bringing us all these wonderful flavors of Palestine !!! Sahtein!!

[@heythere444]

In the southern USA, we put this in a casserole along with Saltine crackers and cheese.

[@theresahenderson3534]

Exactly

[@TheRealAngeloAlvear]

When I visited Palestine, I ate these spicy carrots as a side dish that were so delicious. Please make a video on them!

DIVINE!!

@@NadiaGilbert i don't but you are really proud about being Palestinian? aren't u? I prefer a world without nations and "races" , states and genders..and of course class...but I like you..I try to understand your position...greeets from Berlin

[@cellocellos98]

I’m polish and Lebanese but my grandparents have passed away so I havnt had much exposure to Arabic culture other than through me other middle eastern friends. I was always so sad to have been so young when my grandparents passed as I never learned any of their recipes. I know this is Palestinian food but your channel has been so so nice to watch, I’ve been making so many of your recipes and it fills that little void, thank you so much

[@kaybrown4010]

You had me at “more garlic”. Subbed!

Yes, me too!

[@lyndawatson8312]

I made this and ate it with pita bread,I ate all of it myself loved it. I have shared the recipe with my friends.

[@annamariaayyad2891]

So delicious. I just made this last week with the leftovers from stuffed cousa. I never used tumeric in it so I will have to try it next time. Thank you so much.

[@mohammadaltremat6470]

One of my favourites, I make it with onions and olive oil, it's proper for low potassium diet 🌷

[@NadiaGilbert]

I have it with onions sometimes too, soooo good. And such an unexpected crowd pleaser too!

[@Strevale]

She said in the video that when you want to add onions you would cook until softened before adding the squash.

[@missvianney4198]

Yes I'm going to make this Saturday and share with family. Your so joyful, you lift the spirit! Salam

[@AH-cy4md]

I made this last night, with 4 zucchini and one yellow squash. I keep oils to a minimum, so I only used about a teaspoon of oil in the garlic and salt paste, which also helps to get all that garlic goodness of the mortar. It’s delicious! An excellent way to use extra summer squash And it’s vegan, yay! Thanks for sharing

[@saidyassin5498]

Thank you Nadia! This is a stable Palestinian dish in Lebanon with a squeeze of lemon juice and fresh mint. I love it!

[@scilentstars]

Thanks for making this one. One of my favourite food. Simple yet full of flavour. We usually add 7 spices n dry mint. Finish off with a squeeze of lemon n olive oil. Your recipe looks great too will try it this way

[@NadiaGilbert]

love love love! This is great with seven spice too, I personally tend to keep mine really simple and let the garlic and squash be the stars. My mama adds dry mint too, and she usually lets her squash stay intact a bit more, less like me where I totally pulverize it. Sahtien :)

[@AeolianSkinner]

I tried this tonight. I'd recommend simmering the garlic paste to round off the raw intensity. Also I added black pepper and some Aleppo pepper. Leaving it overnight in the fridge will help unify the flavors, too.

[@YouGottaHaveArt-10digits]

We made this tonight with green zucchini and it'll forever be a staple in our lives. I can't thank you enough for all that you do and for sharing your delicious, healthy recipes... and all with a massive dollop of your wonderful personality! You are an absolute delight. Sending you love from Toronto, Canada! Sandy and Norm xoxo 💖

This is the sweetest comment, thank you for beaming such good energy my way! Happy to have you here!

💖🥂🌺🥰🌞

[@calebfuller4713]

I will definitely be making this! Just harvested a bunch of garlic, and zucchini's are beginning to yield, so the timing is good.

[@gwynnlinn1133]

Oh how wonderful! Reminds me a bit of a Greek side dish.The one with potatoes and garlic, no turmeric though. I am thrilled I presently have oodles of zucchini! Absolutely love your videos!

[@williammcduff6531]

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I'll be making some and using it on pasta also tempted to make a few extra jars and heat process and give out as Christmas gifts.

[@tennisatlive]

Looks really delicious, healthy and quick Nadia. I'm going to give it a a go. Thank you

[@Reveriehaze]

I just made this right now. I didn’t know squash could be so delicious!

[@normharris7725]

just made this again and shared with my neighbour... made her eyes roll back into her head

[@thatbird2]

You made me giggle when you licked the spoon from the garlic. I do that too! haha... Can't wait to get my hands on some Koosa! Thank you so much!

[@bsnaps5174]

My mom used to used the zucchini innards in another way. She used to fry onions, add the zucchini and once the squash is cooked well (and water is gone) she would add some eggs to it (and spices). Both are great dishes

[@hecate235]

lol Sounds like a fritatta to me!

[@NadiaGilbert]

YUM.

[@marieanyez5579]

I am so excited to find your channel! I just sent a link to my sisters, brother and my daughter. Thank you, your energy is wonderful. السلام عليكم Salam Alaikum !

[@boscoboasdad6562]

I'm an old guy new to your channel. You are the only Palestinian I've seen. Thanks for dispelling some bad ideas about your people and squash. I live in a Western State where we pay little to no attention to world conflicts. You are adorable, funny, entertaining, beautiful (face - body- hair- and especially fashion) and immeasurably helpful. Squash is in season, the world is messed up, we all need you. Thank you Super Smart Crazy Lady for every eye opening thing you do (and for the simple foods like this one). I love simple foods. Thanks again.

[@marquezfontan]

I FOUND THE COMMENT OF BOSCO, AND IT WAS AS IF HIM READ MY MIND, IN WIDELY AGRE, YOU ARE WONDERFULL.

[@dawnd.4156]

Another variation, add about 1⁄4 lb of fried up ground round or lamb, crumbled. And instead of turmeric use allspice. My ex husband is Palestinian, and he would make this whenever we made stuffed kousa. Delicious. Your recipe is practically the only one for lub that I've ever seen on the internet. I just happened to run across it by accident. I'll be looking up more of your recipes to see what else you've got. Take care.

[@raniabolotok9555]

Fun to watch! Can’t wait to try it!

[@CorrineChampigny]

Omg I just made this and it’s like one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! I’m always at a conundrum as to what to do with all the squash I grow. I just had a dental implant and have to do mushy foods! This was like the best mushy food ever! And then I mixed it with mashed potatoes and it was fantastic. I’m excited to try it with a zucchini next! Thank you. So much. Your videos are fantastic and you are wonderful to watch. Yes, I love easy recipes too.

[@quintressadennis4597]

Omg... There aren't enough words to describe how amazing this dish is! I did add the onions to mine, not a lot though. And that garlic paste!!! This is going to be a go to dish from now on! Thank you so much!!!

[@scottsinclair366]

I made it for dinner tonight and almost ate it all in one sitting! I've never seen this dish in Lebanon where I have a lot of family. I'll have to ask them about it. Thanks.

[@wonderwoman5528]

I just harvested my first yellow courgette from the garden, and I’ve been saving it for this recipe! :)

[@margaretcole6264]

I've made this. I didn't know it was an actual dish. I always put extra garlic too. Roasted garlic is good in this too. Thank you.

[@arlenecorrea5730]

I finally did it and let me tell you I can eat this for the rest of my life🤩

[@aderaway4413]

Great dish. Great video. I don't know if someone asked already about proportions? Or it up to the cook? Like for instance you like garlicy. Which is great for me. It would just help to get a ballpark of ingredient amounts. Thank you

[@willjennings7191]

This is a recipe I needed to see, we always get an oversupply of Zucchini during late summer in the Mid-Atlantic United States. I'm going to have to do some experimentation to determine whether Lib Koosa can survive long-term canning or jarring. There is such a thing as canned baba ganoush, so I feel optimism if not just naivete. I used to make something similar with lemon juice and quinoa, and it was a really good side dish for processed meat or vegan protein. Here are some question-ish ideas about Lib Koosa: >Fermented honey added while cooling. >Fermenting turmeric with salt for depth of flavor. >Types of salt and how they contribute flavor >Sieving out the seeds and peel to make a savory Zuc jelly, like pepper jelly. Thing I want to know is: Am I within normal variation for this recipe? Finally, this looks like it might be at least incidentally related to depression-era bread and butter pickles.
