What is Zucchini stuffed with dried pepper?
Zucchini stuffed with dried pepper is a Turkish-style stuffed vegetable: hollowed zucchini is filled with a rice-based mixture, often seasoned with onion and herbs, and cooked with dried pepper for a deeper, savoury flavour. As with many home-style dolma dishes, the exact filling varies from one household or region to another.
The zucchini turns tender around the soft, aromatic filling. It can be served warm or at room temperature, as a main dish or part of a spread, with yoghurt, salad or bread alongside. It offers fibre and is based largely on vegetables and grains, rather than being protein-heavy. For a lighter meal, use a measured amount of oil and pair it with a fresh salad.
