  1. Wash zucchini and cut in half. Use spoon to take out its meat and leave for later, set aside.
  2. Heat some olive oil and add finely chopped onions. Then add finely chopped garlic and ground meat. Saute for several minutes. Add spices, rice, chopped zucchini meat and some water (enough to cover the ingredients) and let cook on low heat. When cooked, fill zucchini halves with it.
