Stuffing:  1/4 c. red lentils
           1/2 c. bulgur
           3 T. olive oil
           1 onion, chopped
           1/2 tomato, minced
           1 clove garlic, mashed

           4 tsp. lemon juice

Sauce:   2 tsp. cornstarch
         2-1/2 c. plain yogurt
         1 clove garlic, mashed
         salt, pepper to taste

Wash zucchini well.  Do not trim ends. Cut each zucchini in 
half lengthwise.  Scoop out all seeded portion of zucchini 
flesh. Sprinkle a tiny amount of salt into each shell. Set 
aside for an hour.  Wash and drain lentils.  Simmer them in 
2 c. water for 2 minutes, then let sit, covered, for 45 minutes.  
In a bowl, cover bulgur with 3 c. water and let sit for an hour.  
When lentils have sat for 45 min, bring to simmer again. Lower 
heat and simmer for ~10 minutes or until tender.  Drain and put 
in a bowl.  Drain bulgur and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.  
Put bulgur in same bowl as lentils.  Heat olive oil in skillet over 
medium flame.  Saute onion for 2 minutes.  Add tomato, saute for 
another 2 minutes. Mix saute with lentils and bulgur.  Add garlic, 
salt, lemon juice and parsley, mix well.  Arrange a steamer by 
setting a colander on top of a large pot with an inch or so of 
water.  Stuff zucchini with lentil-bulgur mixture.  Place stuffed 
zucchini in colander and cover.  Steam for 10-15 minutes until 
zucchini shells are just tender.  Sauce:  Mix cornstarch and 1 T. 
water in a bowl.  Add the yogurt.  Whisk until creamy.  Put yogurt 
in heavy saucepan and bring to simmer over medium-low heat, 
stirring constantly.  When yogurt begins to bubble, lower heat 
and cook for 5 minutes, stirring gently.  Add remaining sauce 
ingredients and mix.  Put cooked stuffed zucchini on plates 
and top with sauce.
