## Good to know

### Swaps

- No fresh tomato for topping? Use canned diced tomato instead.
- Pul biber (red pepper flakes) can be left out or swapped with a milder chili flake if you prefer less heat.

### Storing it

Cool quickly and keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1–2 days. Reheat in a covered pot or microwave with a splash of water until steaming hot.

### Making it ahead

The rice and meat filling can be mixed and the zucchini hollowed out up to a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge until ready to stuff and cook.
