Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 6:59 pmStuffed Zucchini
This recipe is stuffed with lamb. Could use another meat or none at all if you like.
I got cubby and my kids to eat a green vegetable through this meal!!
Ingredients
* 1 medium zucchini
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 cup soft bread crumbs
* 1 lb. ground lamb
* 4 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
* fresh garlic
Directions
1. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise; scoop out and reserve pulp, leaving 1/4-in. shells. Place zucchini shells, cut side down, in a skillet. Add water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until tender; drain.
Option: cook zucchini in the oven by placing cut side down in a square pan. Bake 350 degrees till tender. Approx. 15 min.
2. Turn shells cut side up; sprinkle with salt. Chop zucchini pulp; saute in a small saucepan with ground lamb until tender and lamb is browned. Drain any liquids off. Saute garlic and add to lamb. Stir in bread crumbs and cheese. Spoon into the zucchini shells; sprinkle with cheese if desired. Cover and cook over medium heat (with no added water) for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
