Greek Stuffed Zucchini With Rice
An easy and delicious summer vegan dish
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2-3 green onions chopped
- 125 gr rice
- 2 cups water
- 125 ml olive oil
- ½ bunch of parsley chopped
- ½ bunch of dill chopped
- 5 mint leaves chopped
- oregano
- salt
- pepper
- lemon
Instructions
- Wash the zucchini very well (don’t peel their skin off) and cut them in half to fit in the pot and cook better. Cut their ends off.
- Remove with a spoon (or with the appropriate tool if you have) the inside of the zucchini, chop it and put it in a bowl.
- In that bowl add the onions, rice, herbs, 3 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Fill the zucchini with this mix and carefully place them in the pot, where you have added 2 tbsp olive oil. Fill the pot halfway with water (2 cups water).
- Cook with the lid closed on low heat for about 1 hour and just before the end add a little extra oil (50ml). During cooking, check regularly if there is enough water.
- Serve with plenty of lemon.
