In a bowl, combine the ground lamb, rinsed rice, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, allspice, and cinnamon. Mix well.

Stuff the hollowed zucchini with the lamb and rice mixture, packing it loosely to allow the rice to expand.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

Carefully arrange the stuffed zucchini in the tomato sauce. Add water or lamb broth to cover the zucchini. Bring to a gentle boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the rice is fully cooked. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
