Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 4 zucchini, chopped

  • 1 cup chopped fresh dill weed

  • ¼ cup uncooked long grain white rice

  • ½ cup water

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 cups plain yogurt

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar, then add the chopped zucchini, dill, and rice. Cook and stir until the zucchini is softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the water, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture until the rice is cooked, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, and let the mixture cool to lukewarm.

  2. Make a sauce by mixing the yogurt, garlic, and salt in a bowl. Serve over the lukewarm zucchini and rice.
