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.
