    Preparation Steps

    1

    Halve the zucchinis lengthwise. Scoop out the seedy core to create a cavity.

    2

    Cook the rice in lightly salted water until tender. Set aside to cool slightly.

    3

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until softened.

    4

    Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cooked rice.

    5

    Fill the zucchini cavities with the ground meat mixture. Place them in a lightly oiled baking dish.

    6

    Pour the tomato sauce around the stuffed zucchinis. Sprinkle the tops with grated cheese.

    7

    Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is golden brown.

    8

    Before serving, garnish the stuffed zucchinis with fresh, finely chopped parsley.
