Wash the vegetables. Cut the ends off of the zucchinis and then cut each zucchini into 3 even sections. Remove the center with a melon baller, but save the insides.
Slice the top of the tomatoes off, and core the inside with a spoon, taking care not to make a puncture. Save the insides.
Dice the onion and place in the Lékué Steam Case. Add 2 tbsp. water and steam in the microwave for 3 minutes at 800 watts.
Chop the insides of the vegetables and mix with cooked onion; set aside in a mixing bowl.
Using the Lékué Rice Cooker, make the couscous, ¼ cup couscous with ¼ cup water for 2 minutes at 800 watts.
Add the couscous, raisins, pine nuts, cumin, salt and pepper to the chopped vegetables. Mix together.

Pour ¼ cup water into the bottom of the steam case fitted with the tray, place the stuffed vegetables on top, close the lids and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes at 800 watts. If the vegetables aren’t quite done, cook for 30 second intervals until vegetables are tender. Serve.
