DOLMA (ALGERIAN STUFFED VEGETABLES)
This is a special occasion dish. We make this during Ramadan. My husband bases this on a version from "Great Book of Couscous". The potatoes and zucchini must be a certain size for this to work well.

Steps:
- Peel the zucchini and potatoes.
- Chop the stem off the zucchinis.
- Chop the potatoes and zucchini in half short ways so now you have 4 zucchini pieces, each about 3 inches long and 4 potato pieces, each about 2 inches long.
- Carefully scoop out the inside of each zucchini piece, leaving a wall about 1/4 inch thick around. Discard the scooped out part.
- Carefully scoop out each potato in the same manner but save the scooped out portion.
- Mix together the ground meat, 1 tablespoon of parsley, rice, egg, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Stuff the meat mixture into the potatoes and zucchini, loosely.
- Heat oil in large pan and saute onion and lamb together.
- Add the water and bring to boil over medium high heat.
- Add the chick peas, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
- Put the stuffed vegetables in the sauce along with the reserved potato pieces. Cook covered for 1/2 hour.
- Remove from heat and add lemon juice and 1 tbsp parsley.
