4 medium zucchini
1 cup long grain rice, cooked
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 cups canned tomato sauce
3 tablespoons fresh dill weed, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions: Split zucchini lengthwise, scoop out seeds and flesh. Sauté ground beef, the scooped out zucchini flesh, onion, garlic, dill, and parsley in olive oil. Remove from heat. Add
cooked rice, beaten egg, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs and mix well. Fill zucchini with mixture and place in a baking dish. Cover with tomato sauce, sprinkle cheese and remaining bread crumbs on top. Cover
and bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes, until zucchini is tender but firm. Alternately you can hollow the zucchinis out "standing up" (to make long cylinders instead of
"boats") stuff them, place them in a saucepan (still standing) cover with the tomato sauce and simmer for about an hour.
