in Syria we cook really healthy food, but i make it in different way , we put Safflower with meat and rice ,( no lemon or onion), we use chopped dried mint and smashed garlic with tomato puree ,and its not only Zucchini we add eggplant,pumpkin,potatoes,green pepper we stuff them in the same way - 4/20/12

my family is also Syrian they make it a little different, they omit the onion and lemon
add 1/2t cinnamon and alspice &garlic cover w/ tom water cook a hr, sometimes use yellow long neck squash,they stand the sq.up in the pan, so the insides dont fall out. - 7/2/09
