Scrape and wash the zucchini. Remove a slice from the small side, empty the zucchiniby using a spoon or a special kitchen tool. Mix the mince, the rice, the finely chopped onions and dill in a bowl. Fill the courgettes with the mixture. Put them in a saucepan together with the butter or the olive oil and add enough water to almost cover them. Cook for about 3/4 of an hour.
Prepare the avgolemono sauce, pour it over the zucchini and shake the pan gently over low heat until the sauce thickens. DO NOT BOIL.
