Ingredients:





     1    MJNT73C


    14    Medium green zuchinni*


     1 lb Ground beef/pork/veal comb.*


   1/2 c  Raw Unconverted Rice*


   1/2    Medium Red Tomato*


   1/8 c  Water*


   1/2    Small onion*


     1    Garlic clove*


     2 tb Dried Mint Leaves*


   1/2 ts Salt*


   1/2 ts Black pepper, ground*


     2    Garlic Cloves


     1    Small onion


     4    Medium red tomatoes


 2 1/2 ts Salt


     2 tb Dried mint leaves


     5 c  Water


     1    Small hot pepper


   1/2    Juice of 1 lemon






 Wash zuchinni and cut off tips.  Using a small sharp knife, scoop out the


 insides.  Combine meat and rice in a large mixing bowl. In a blender,


 combine 1/2 tomato, water, garlic clove, onion, mint , salt & pepper and


 blend in a blender until smooth.  Mix with the meat and rice mixture. Stuff


 mixture into the zuchinni and place in a pressure cooker. Mix the remaining


 garlic, onion, tomato, salt, mint, water,pepper, salt & Pepper & blend. Add


 to pressure cooker, along with the dried mint. Cook in pressure cooker on


 low after pressure rises to maximum allowed pressure and cook for 20


 minutes.  Allow pressure to release of its own accord. Add the juice of 1/2


 lemon and check for salt. Although I haven't tried it, I believe this could


 be cooked in the oven in the same manner if the rice is cooked first.


 Starred 
ingredients are those used in the stuffing. The rest are for


 the sauce.
