Ingredients (serves 8)
8 medium (1kg) white zucchini
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small brown onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed

Method
Trim tops from zucchini. Using an apple corer, carefully remove and discard flesh, leaving a 5mm border around edge and 1cm at base.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic for 3 minutes or until softened. Cool for 10 minutes.

Place onion mixture, rice, mince, allspice, salt, pepper, mint, parsley and coriander in a bowl. Mix to combine.

Fill zucchini with rice mixture, leaving 1cm at top.

Place, in a single layer, in a large saucepan. Combine tomato puree and 1 1/2 cups cold water in a jug. Pour puree mixture over zucchini. Cover. Bring to the boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, turning occasionally, for 1 hour or until zucchini and rice are tender. Serve.

Notes
Serves 8 as part of a banquet.
