* 1 kg Courgettes
* 1 cup short Grain Rice (soaked in water for half an hour)
* 200 g Lamb mice
* 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
* 4 Cloves of garlic
* 1 tsp. Salt
* ½ tsp. Black pepper
* ½ tsp. Cumin powder
* ¼ tsp. Turmeric
* 1 teaspoon Safflower
* ¼ teaspoon All spice
* 1 teaspoon dry Mint
* 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
===Method===
* Rinse the Courgettes and cut off the tops.
* Core the Courgettes with a Courgettes corer.
* In a large bowl, mix the Minced meat, Rice, Vegetable oil, Salt and the Spices until well combined.
* To a large pot add Tomato puree, water, and Salt and bring to a Simmer.
* Lightly work the Rice Stuffing into the Courgettes. Ensure that each Courgette is only ¾ full. This is too so that the rice need room to expand once cooked.
* To the Tomato sauce, add of the Garlic, Salt, and Dried Mint and stir. Slowly drop the Courgettes into the Tomato sauce and cover.
* Cook for about 35-45 minutes on medium heat.
* Test the Courgettes by tasting one and see if the Rice is cooked and the Courgette is soft.
* Once cooked, take the Courgettes out of the Tomato sauce as they may break open if left too long in the Sauce.
