👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Prepare the zucchini: Cut the zucchini into small, 1/2-inch cubes. For a crisper texture and to prevent sogginess, spread the zucchini cubes on a baking sheet and let them dry out for about 1-2 hours (traditionally in the sun, but can be done indoors). Alternatively, pat them very dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Sauté the zucchini: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini cubes and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned but still retain some crispness. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the onions and meat: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized. Add the ground beef to the pan and cook, breaking it up, until fully browned. Season the onion and meat mixture with 7-spice, salt, and pepper.

4. 4

   Combine and finish cooking: Return the sautéed zucchini to the pan with the meat and onion mixture. Stir well to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender-crisp. Be careful not to overcook the zucchini.

5. 5

   Serve: Serve Mfaraket Kousa hot, with plain yogurt on the side if desired. It can be enjoyed as a main dish with bread or as a flavorful side dish.
