Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lb medium-size zucchini squash
1 lb ground lamb or beef
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 c chopped fresh parsley
1/2 c chopped fresh mint leaves
1/2 can(s) 16-oz can whole tomatoes, roughly chopped (or use entire can if needed)
1/2 c uncooked rice
3 Tbsp olive oil (or oil of your choice - more if needed)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 garlic clove, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c water
AVGOLEMONO SAUCE
3-4 Tbsp flour
1/2 c milk
2 eggs
juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and scrape squash lightly. Cut off both ends and scoup out pulp with a potato peeler to form a tube. Take care not to scrape too close to the skin. Sprink inside of squash with salt.
  • 2. Saute onion and meat in the oil. Add parsley, mint leaves, tomatoes, rice, cinnamon, garlic, salt and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • 3. Allow meat mixture to cool slightly and stuff squash with meat filling and line them in a pan. Add the water and simmer for about 45 minutes.
  • 4. Drain off all the liquid into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix flour with the cold milk, add the eggs and lemon juice and mix well. Slowly temper the milk mixture into the hot liquid a little at a time until it is thick and creamy.
  • 5. Place squash in a serving dish and pour Avgolemon sauce over all. Serve immediately.

This was the worst stuffed zucchini recipe I've ever tried. The zucchini was undercooked and the filling was flavorless. I do not recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stuffed zucchini turned out mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

Overall, I thought this recipe was okay. The zucchini was tender and the filling was flavorful, but the avgolemono sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste.

I found this recipe to be a bit too time-consuming. It took me over an hour to make, and I had to keep checking on the zucchini to make sure it wasn't overcooking.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs to the filling and it was much better.

This is one of my favorite recipes to make in the summer when zucchini is in season. It's a great way to use up a lot of zucchini and it's always a crowd-pleaser.
