Stuffed Zucchini Mediterranean Style Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Slice the zucchini in half length-wise and scoop out the inside to make room for the meat stuffing. Chop up and save the insides for the sauce. Set zucchini halves face up in 9 x 13 baking pan. Mix the ground beef with rice, egg, salt, pepper, parsley and cinnamon. Stuff zucchini with beef mixture (should be small heaping mound). Cover with 2 cans of diced stewed tomatoes and chopped zucchini innards. Lightly cover with foil and bake at 400 for 30 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with fresh shredded parmesan. Put in oven again for 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and slightly browned. Serve with a side of cous cous.
  • Variation - you also can use ground lamb for this, and perhaps add some mint. sometimes I'll substitute the rice for bread crumbs when using the ground beef. Also, the garlic diced stewed tomatoes add a really nice flavor to the sauce.
