Note to the owner:

  1. This recipe uses boiled beans. Preparing it is easy if you use the following tips. Sort the beans, rinse well and fill with water (in a ratio of 1: 3) overnight. Then drain the water away, and fill the beans with clean water, put on fire and bring to a boil. After that, reduce the fire and cook until cooked for about 1-1.5 hours. Boiling time depends on the variety and size of the beans.
  2. You can speed up the preparation of the dish by boiling the zucchini in boiling water for 10-15 minutes and filling them with stuffing. Then you don’t have to bake them.
  3. You can cut the zucchini not lengthwise, but across, making “barrels”.
