Zucchini Recipe
Mediterranean
Courgettes stuffed with Spicy Rice
A great Stuffed Zucchini Recipe - take my word for it - ... Pam We wanted to do something different with our stuffed zucchini recipe
and so we decided to combine some of out favorite Mediterranean
flavours and textures to create an original and visually stunning dish.
The basic recipe is vegetarian but we like to add some chicken breast -
well, just because we do.
Zucchini is ubiquitous in the Mediterranean - known as "courgette" in
France, "calabacín" in Spain and of course "zucchini" in Italy.
It's filling enough to make a good main course for a lunch or
suppper and also makes a great starter - just use half the quantities.
The recipes we write are usually easy to follow, but if you are having
any problems at all, just ask Pam

That's why she's chosen a range of kitchen basics - US and UK to help you put together a good

Method for Stuffed Zucchini Recipe
Use
a good quality stainless steel roasting tray for best results
- ideal for lasagnes too - here's Pam's
favorite:) >>>
First cook the rice - adding the turmeric and
stock cube to your water.
Drain and set to one side.
OK - cut the zucchini in two lengthways and
scrape out all the pulp.
Now - cook off the onion and peppers in the
olive oil.
Add all the chopped up zucchini pulp and
continue to cook. (if you're using the chicken add half the pulp and
discard the rest).
Lower the heat - add the garlic and spices and
cook for a further two minutes.
Take it off the heat and add the rice, mixing
it well.
Right - place the zucchini halves in your
roasting tray and fill with the mixture.
Slice the chicken and arrange all around the
zucchini.
Sprinkle the Manchego over the top and bake in
a moderate oven 180ºc/350ºf for 20/25 minutes - until golden and cooked
through.
