Zucchini with yogurt and oil means you do not necessarily have to make zucchini with yogurt and ground meat. Vegetarians can enjoy this delicious dish too.

Ingredients:

1 kilo zucchini

1/2 cup rice

1 cup chopped parsley

1/2 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup chopped fennel

Pinch of salt

Pinch of seven-spice seasoning

1/4 cup olive oil

Water for boiling the zucchini

Oil for frying

1 kilo yogurt

4 tablespoons starch

Pinch of salt

1 tablespoon crushed garlic

1 tablespoon dried mint

A bunch of fresh cilantro

Pine nuts and cashews for garnish

Method:

Start by hollowing out the zucchini, then wash it and set it aside to drain.
Prepare the filling by mixing the well-washed, drained rice with the parsley, green onions, and chopped fennel, along with the salt, spices, and olive oil.
Stuff the hollowed zucchini with the prepared filling.
Fry the zucchini in oil until it takes on a nice color on both sides.
Remove it and place it in a pot, cover with water, then boil it.
When the rice is cooked, set the zucchini aside and pour the cooking water into a bowl, keeping it for later.
In the same pot, pour in the yogurt, dissolve the starch in a little cold water, strain it, and add it to the yogurt.
Place the pot over heat and stir the yogurt well until the mixture thickens. Do not add salt at this stage so the yogurt does not curdle.
Once the yogurt reaches the desired thickness, add the crushed garlic, salt, and dried mint.
Stir, then add the cooked zucchini you set aside.
Let the zucchini with yogurt and oil simmer gently for just a few minutes.
Fry the chopped cilantro in a tablespoon of olive oil until wilted.
Pour the zucchini with yogurt and oil into a serving dish, top with the fried cilantro and fried nuts, and serve immediately. It can also be served cold.
