🇪🇬 Egypt recipe
Mahshi
Mahshi is one of the great celebratory dishes of Egyptian home cooking, an elaborate labor of love where an array of vegetables and grape leaves are meticulously stuffed with a fragrant herbed rice filling. The stuffed vegetables are then arranged snugly in a pot and braised slowly in tomato broth until everything melds into a harmonious whole. It is a dish that brings families together.
