12 whole cousa squash or 6 green zucchini, halved crosswise (see note)

2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil

1/3 lb (150 g) ground beef

1/4 cup (60 g) basmati rice, rinsed and drained

2 tbsp chopped mint

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp ground allspice

3/4 cup (180 ml) chicken broth

3/4 cup (180 ml) strained tomatoes

Plain yogurt (optional)

Core the zucchini with an apple or zucchini corer. Keep the cores for another use. Drizzle the insides of the zucchini with the oil and season with salt and pepper.

In a bowl, combine the beef, rice, half of the mint, half of the garlic, the salt and allspice. Season with pepper. Stuff each zucchini with the meat mixture.

In a large skillet, combine the broth, strained tomatoes and the remaining garlic. Arrange the stuffed zucchini in the skillet. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook over medium heat for 25 minutes, turning the zucchini halfway through cooking. Add more broth or water to thin the sauce, if needed.

Garnish with the remaining mint and serve with yogurt, if desired.
