Ingredients

  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 2/3 cup medium pearl barley
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 6 medium zucchini (8 to 9 inches)
  • 1/2 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

Directions

  • Drain tomatoes, reserving juice. Set the tomatoes aside. Add water to juice to measure 2 cups; place in a saucepan. Add barley and cumin; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until tender.

Spoon into zucchini shells. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and butter; sprinkle over zucchini. Place in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes. Cover and bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Yield: 6 servings.
