Hollow out the zucchini without making the walls too thin.
Mix the firik, rice, pepper paste, onion, and spices for the filling.
Fill the zucchini two-thirds full so they do not crack when the firik swells.
Arrange the zucchini in a pot and add hot water and the sour sauce.
Cook the stuffed zucchini over low heat for 24 minutes.
💡 Tip: Using the firik partly cooked lets the filling expand without bursting the squash.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with yogurt and a few lemon wedges alongside.
