1/2 onion (yellow is milder, white has more bite) pepper
1/2 teaspoon allspice lemon juice
1 pinch mint
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil water

Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat!.
Slice onion and add to hot olive oil!. Let fry for about 3-5 minutes while you make the stuffing!.
In a large bowl, combine lamb, rice, and spices!. The best method is to get in it with your hands and just smoosh and mix without any sort of utensils!.
Add cans of tomato sauce and diced tomato to the onions!.
Stuff squash with mixture!. Leave about a half inch to a quarter inch of room at the end as the rice will expand!. also, do not pack too tightly as the expanding rice will break the squash!.
Add the stuffed squashes to the pan!.
Chop the garlic cloves into fine pieces and sprinkle between the squash in the pan!.
Add water to just cover the squash and let simmer over medium heat for 40 minutes!.
Squeeze a few drops fresh lemon juice over squash and sprinkle a pinch of mint!. Allow to cook another 10 minutes or so!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
