👨🍳 تعليمات
- 1
Wash the zucchini, trim the ends, and cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully hollow out the centers with a spoon, leaving about a 1/2 cm thick wall. Chop the removed zucchini flesh and set aside.
- 2
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, rinsed short-grain rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 3
Gently stuff each zucchini half with the meat and rice mixture, filling them generously.
- 4
In a large pot or oven-safe dish, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the reserved chopped zucchini flesh and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- 5
Pour in the tomato sauce and water (or broth). Bring the mixture to a simmer. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- 6
Carefully arrange the stuffed zucchini halves in the simmering sauce. Ensure they are nestled snugly.
- 7
Cover the pot or dish tightly with a lid or foil. If using an oven-safe dish, bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the filling is cooked through. If cooking on the stovetop, simmer on low heat for the same duration.

Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, spooning some of the sauce over each portion.
