Food Product
1) 6 small zucchini (or 3 large cut in half).
2) 1/2 pound ground lamb (or beef).
3) 1/4 cup uncooked rice.
4) 2 pressed garlic cloves.
5) 1 minced onion.
6) 2 teaspoons salt (divided into two-one teaspoon portions).
7) 1 to 8 oz. can tomato sauce.
8) 3 cups water.
9) 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
Standard Procedure :
Wash zucchinis and cut green caps off.
Core each zucchini with a coring knife, scooping out insides. Save the insides and set aside.
Mix lamb (or beef), rice, garlic, onion and 1 teaspoon salt. Knead well. Stuff each zucchini with the meat mixture.
If you have more meat mixture than zucchini , make meatballs out of the remaining stuffing. In the bottom of a 5-quart pot, place the insides of the carved zucchinis, then arrange the stuffed zucchini on top of them. Add remaining salt, tomato sauce, water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil on high heat.
Reduce to medium heat and cook for 20 minutes, or until tender. Serve with rice or bread.
