6 servings

  • 5 zucchinis
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • ½ cup rice
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon cajun seasoning
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup Barilla Marinara sauce
  • ½ lemon
  • 1 tablespoon honey silan
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ½ tablespoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large pot, boil 1 cup (240 ml) water with rice for 8 minutes. Then, drain the water and, in the same pot, add all of the ground beef mixture and stir well.
  • With a sharp mandolin, peel even strips of the zucchini, cover with salt for 5 minutes (to draw out moisture), then rinse.
  • Place 1 tsp ground beef mixture on each layer of zucchini, roll into a sphere, and place roll back into the pot. Repeat with remaining zucchini strips.
  • Combine sauce ingredients in a separate bowl. Then, pour half of the sauce onto the rolls and cook on the stovetop for 20 minutes on medium heat.
  • Add the remaining sauce and finish off the dish in the oven at 350°F for 20 more minutes.
  • Serve warm.
