- I kg courgettes
- 1 cup short grain rice (soaked in water for half an hour)
- 200 g lamb mice
- 3 tbsp. tomato paste
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ½ tsp. cumin powder
- ¼ tsp. turmeric

- Lightly work the rice stuffing into the courgettes. Ensure that each courgette is only ¾ full. This is too so that the rice need room to expand once cooked.
- To the tomato sauce, add of the garlic, salt, and dried mint and stir. Slowly drop the courgettes into the tomato sauce and cover.
- Cook for about 35-45 minutes on medium heat.
- Test the courgettes by tasting one and see if the rice is cooked and the courgette is soft.
