Step by Step Method

Step 1

To prepare the filling, combine the meat, rice, allspice, salt and water in a bowl and mix well to combine ( by hand)- Try to handle the meat gently, don’t squeeze it too much as this tends to toughen it up.

Step 2

Cut the tops off the globe zucchinis and scoop out some of the pulp with a spoon, leaving a thick border-If using regular zucchini, use a paring knife( or corer) to core them.

Step 3

Stuff the zucchini with the meat filling, taking care not to fill them too tightly as the rice will expand during cooking- Place the stuffed zucchini’s in the pot, and place prunes all around.

Step 4

In a bowl, combine the sauce ingredients.

Step 5

Pour the sauce over the zucchini - Cover the pot and bring the liquid up to a boil over high heat - Lower the flame and simmer for 1-2 hours.
