To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 medium-sized zucchinis
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup grated cucumber
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and flesh with a spoon, leaving a hollow shell. Place the zucchini boats in a baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Add the onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked rice, feta cheese, parsley, and mint.
Spoon the beef and rice mixture into the hollowed-out zucchini boats, filling them to the top. Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the stuffed zucchinis and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchinis are tender and the filling is heated through.
While the zucchinis are baking, prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
Once the zucchinis are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve the stuffed zucchinis hot, topped with a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
