Instructions: An interesting and delectable dairy dish with or without yogurt.

Soak rice in hot water for 15 minutes, and drain. Clean zucchini with a vegetable brush. Trim ends of zucchini (or cut zucchini in half), and scoop out pulp. Add chickpeas, butter, mint, salt, and white pepper to rice. Fill each zucchini 3/4 full with the rice mixture.

Place zucchini horizontally and close together in a medium-size pot. Pour water over zucchini, and sprinkle with minced garlic. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
