Stuffed squash, courgette, marrow, mahshi, or zucchini is a dish common in Egypt, the Balkans and the Ottoman cuisine, a kind of dolma.
It consists of various kinds of squash or zucchini stuffed with rice and sometimes meat and cooked on the stovetop or in the oven.
The meatless version is considered an "olive-oil dish" and is often eaten at room temperature or warm.
The placenta and seeds of larger, shorter, cylindrical immature squashes are pulled off, and the further proceeding is similar as for punjene paprike or sarma.
In the Middle East, nearly mature fruits of 'Cousa' are stuffed with meat and other ingredients, then baked".
