This dish is served with fresh salsa verde, shrimp, beef and chicken.
A molcajete dinner with shrimp, beef and chicken is a sizzling Mexican dish served in a traditional stone mortar. It features a mix of marinated shrimp, tender beef and juicy chicken cooked together with jalapenol peppers (or sub with bell peppers) onions, and spices. Topped with fresh salsa and cheese, it’s a flavorful, communal dish perfect for sharing, often accompanied by warm tortillas and guacamole.
My sister’s mother-in-law, from Egypt, made these stuffed zucchini many years ago, and I've been dreaming about the flavor that was dancing on my tongue when I ate this dish. I decided to put a recipe together to mimic the flavor of the dish I had so many years ago. This is a delicious recipe that includes protein, vegetables and rice, all in one bite.
Don't forget to make the Matabal Kousa (zucchini yogurt) to go with this dish and serve with either warm pita bread or naan for dipping.
I have been making this recipe since 2009. I make it as a special occasion meal, but I think everyone I've cooked this for would eat it for every meal. It really is a winner of a dish!
