Instructions:

1. Prepare the Savory Minced Beef (Lahma Mu’assaga): Begin by coarsely mincing the beef. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the onions until they reach a pale golden color. Then, add the minced beef along with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the beef absorbs the juices and is cooked through. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Filling: Coarsely mince the cooked beef mixture and mix it with the rice in a bowl. Season the mixture with additional salt and pepper to taste.

3. Prep the Zucchini: Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut off the tops. Using a small spoon or a zucchini corer, hollow out the centers of the zucchinis to create a cavity for the filling. Make sure not to remove too much flesh, as you want the zucchinis to retain their shape.

4. Stuff the Zucchinis: Loosely fill each hollowed-out zucchini with the beef and rice mixture, packing it gently to ensure even distribution.

5. Cooking: Arrange the stuffed zucchinis in a large pot. In a separate bowl, season the tomato juice with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the seasoned tomato juice over the stuffed zucchinis, ensuring they are generously covered. Drizzle the cooking oil over the top.

6. Simmer: Place the pot over medium heat and bring the tomato juice to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and let the zucchinis cook for approximately 30 minutes, or until the zucchinis are tender and the filling is cooked through.

7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat and carefully transfer the stuffed zucchinis to serving plates. Spoon any remaining tomato sauce from the pot over the zucchinis for extra flavor. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful flavors of this traditional Egyptian dish!
