Hollow out the zucchini and trim the openings flat.
Mix the ground beef, washed rice, grated onion, tomato paste, parsley, olive oil, salt, and dried mint.
Fill the zucchini with the mixture and stand them upright in the pot.
Add enough hot water to come halfway up the zucchini.
Cover and cook over low heat for 35 to 40 minutes.
💡 Tip: Do not fill the zucchini all the way to the top, because the rice expands as it cooks.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with nokedli and parsley.
