Steps:
- Wash and dry the zucchinis, cut off the stalks and slice off the dried tips at the opposite end without removing too much flesh.
- Carefully hollow out the zucchini. Start from the stalk end by inserting your corer about 3/4 of the way into the zucchini, making sure not to poke the bottoms or the tender skin of the zucchinis. Twist the corer and pull out the zucchini flesh. Do this a few times, until you have a generous cavity.
- Set cored zucchini aside.
- In your food processor, add the cut pieces of tomatoes and pulse a few times until well blended.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the stuffing ingredients of rice, ground beef, butter, fresh blended tomatoes, spices and salt until fully combined (I do this by hand).
- Using your hands stuff the zucchini with the beef mixture, leaving half of an inch free at the top to allow the filling to expand.
- Repeat for the rest of the hollowed zucchini.
- Arrange the stuffed zucchinis in a large pot, add water, just enough to slightly cover the zucchinis.
- Cover the pot, place on medium-high heat, and bring water to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium- low, add tomato sauce or tomato paste, or both ( depending on how thick you like you sauce to be).
- Cover the pot and simmer for 45 minutes or until the zucchini is tender and the rice stuffing is fully cooked.
- Taste the sauce and adjust salt if you'd like.
- Transfer to a serving plate, serve and enjoy!
