Leb. Entree - Kusa

Core zucchini, leaving ½" walls, careful not to pierce shell. Rinse in cold water and drain. Mix rice, meat and seasonings. Stuff the zucchini within an inch of the end to allow the rice to expand.

Place in large pan and add several cloves of garlic, either whole or halved. Pour stewed tomatoes over top. Add water, barely covering contents, adding 2 teaspoons of additional salt. Cover with lid and cook on medium heat for about 35 minutes. Add mint and cook until the rice is done (5 - 10 minutes).
