1Core the zucchini with an apple corer, leaving a 3 mm (1/8 inch) wall. Rinse and drain upside down.
2Mix all the filling ingredients well (not tightly — rice needs room).
3Fill each zucchini 3/4 full; shake to settle.
4Stand them snugly in a pot. Mix crushed tomatoes, garlic, paste, oil, lemon, 400 ml (1 2/3 cups) water, salt; pour around.
5Weight with a small plate; simmer 40-45 min until the rice is cooked. Rest 10 min; finish with mint.
