Ingredients

  • 8 medium yellow squash (about 3 pounds)
  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
  • 8 ounces lean ground lamb
  • 1/4 cup uncooked converted rice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 8 teaspoons chopped fresh mint (optional)

    Cut off narrow neck of each squash. Insert a small paring knife into cut ends of squash. Carefully twist knife to remove pulp. (Do not pierce sides of squash.)
