Preparation

  1. In a large pot, boil 1 cup (240 ml) water with rice for 8 minutes. Then, drain the water and, in the same pot, add all of the ground beef mixture and stir well.
  2. With a sharp mandolin, peel even strips of the zucchini, cover with salt for 5 minutes (to draw out moisture), then rinse.
  3. Place 1 tsp ground beef mixture on each layer of zucchini, roll into a sphere, and place roll back into the pot. Repeat with remaining zucchini strips.
  4. Combine sauce ingredients in a separate bowl. Then, pour half of the sauce onto the rolls and cook on the stovetop for 20 minutes on medium heat.
  5. Add the remaining sauce and finish off the dish in the oven at 350°F for 20 more minutes.
  6. Serve warm.
