Mince Beef and Rice Stuffed Zucchinis (Kids' Menu)

Hi everyone!!! I hope you are having an amazing day! Today I decided to share another of my son's favorite dishes! My son is a very picky eater and he is not a big fan of vegetables (:) except for potatoes :) he is a big potato fan!!! ). If are currently having the same problem maybe you' ll find this recipe interesting.
Here are the ingredients for this recipe:

  • mince beef (300 gr)
  • rice (1/2 cup)
  • zucchinis (3-4 medium size)
  • onion (1 medium size)
  • garlic (3 cloves)
  • fresh herbs (am currently using dill and coriander, a few stems from each)
  • salt (to your taste)
  • paprika (1 teaspoon)
  • vegetable oil (1 tablespoon)
  • water (about 2 cups, just enough to cover the stuffed zucchinis in a pan)

The instructions:
  • First thing you should do is to prepare the zucchinis.Cut the zucchinis into thick pieces and take out the pulp with a teaspoon like in the picture below.



  • Cut the upper part of the zucchini pulps. You are going to use it as lids when the zucchinis are stuffed. You can also blend the left over zucchini pulps in a blender (together with onion and garlic) and add them into the mince beef filling.


  • When you are done with the zucchinis it's time to prepare the filling. Blend the onion, the garlic cloves and the zucchini pulp together in a blender and add to the mince beef. Add the rice and the seasonings (salt, paprika and even black pepper if you like) and the vegetable oil. Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly. 

  • When the filling is ready it's time to stuff the zucchinis. Take a tablespoon of the filling and stuff all the prepared zucchinis, put them in a pan, cover them with the lids made of zucchini pulp. Add just enough water to cover the stuffed zucchinis and cook them for about 15-20 minutes.




Here is how my mince beef and rice stuffed zucchinis turned out. My son enjoyed it! I hope you too liked today's recipe!!! If you ever try this recipe, feel free to share your opinion with me. Wish you all have a fantastic weekend!!! See you soon!!! Bye!!! :) :) :)
