3 tblsp cooked lentils
1 small onion, grated
3 cloves of garlic crushed (or less ;-))
1 tblsp cinnamon
2 tsp cumin
2 tblsp minced fresh cilantro (approximate big time!)

to to break the skin! - yours or the zukes!)

Instructions:

-------------
I would double the filling and thus the zukes!
Core those suckers and then throw the filling together in a bowl. Fill
each Zuke only 3/4 full and place the top on it (I taper the top with a
knife so it fits on) Place lettuce leaves in the bottom (so the zukes
don't burn) of a large pot (the biggest you have) and put the zukes in
Bottom down (if you have enough room; if not, put in howeve they will
fit and try to secure in place by wedging potatoes or whateverto keep in
place.
Cover with water or broth (WELL SALTED- VERY IMPORTANT- MAY BE ADD
MORE!) and add the rest of the small can of tomato paste and a chopped
onion and some garlic, cumin whatever and coover with lid and cook about
45min-1 hour on medium highish till boilin and then reduce to medium/low
ish so it is simmering. After the hour check a zuke to see if the rice
is done... if it is then you are done. Remove the zukes onto a serving
platter and spoon a little liquid over them. (discard lettuce and
whatever else) You can ccover with a onion-mint yohurt sauce and garnish
with a sprinkle of paprika for color. Yum!
