"STUFFED ZUCCHINI
10 medium zucchini
1 kg minced lamb or beef if unavailable
3/4 cup rice
3 cloves garlic
salt, pepper and mixed spice
3 tablespoons tomato paste
a few tomatoes pealed and sliced or else tinned whole tomatoes
mint, fresh or dried
1 large onion
a tablespoon margarine
Mix meat with rice, pepper, salt and mixed spice and mint to season with a little cold water (to loosen mixture)
Wash each zucchini, cut off tops and small white nob at the end. If long, cut in half and scoop out the pulp: one end remains closed. If fairly short, cut off one end and scoop out. Keep the pulp and put in the bottom of the saucepan you will use to cook the zucchini. Rince the zucchini and drain, then fill with the meat and rice stuffing, 3/4 full to allow for rice expansion. Place the zucchinis in the saucepan when stuffed.
Lightly brown onion cut up in margarine and pour over zucchini. Cover the zucchinis with the tomatoes. Mix the tomato paste with water and pour this over the zucchinis. Add four or five cups of water. Cover with lid, boil slowly. This takes about 1 1/4 hours to cook."
