1 kilo of baby zucchini
200 grams minced meat
1 medium onion, finely shopped
1 handful pine seeds
1 tablespoon tomato pureé
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon 7 spices
1 tablespoon canola oil
frying oil

1. Wash the zucchini, cut the head and remove the inside with a corer; don’t throw them, you’ll use them to make omelette with them (stay tuned, it will be in the next post)

2. Heat the frying oil in a saucepan and fry the zucchini until slightly colored, then place them on a kitchen towel to absorb the excess of oil and allow them to cool

3. In another saucepan, heat the canola oil, fry the pine seeds until golden color then put the onion and cook until the onion is colored, add the minced meat and let it cook. Season with one teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon seven spices

4. Fill the zucchini with the meat, place in a pot, cover with about 3 cups of water and tomato paste; season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of spices

5. Let it boil, then reduce the fire and let it simmer for about 25 minutes
Serve it with cooked rice, and enjoy
