Start by carefully hollowing out the zucchini.
Prepare the bulgur filling and fill the zucchini.
Cook the stuffed zucchini in tomato sauce for 24 minutes.
Leave one finger of space at the top while filling so it can swell without spilling.
Pour the hot water into the pot from the side and close the lid without moving the stuffed vegetables.
💡 Tip: Do not hollow the zucchini too thinly; that keeps them from falling apart as they cook.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with yogurt and lemon slices on the side.
