Stuffed 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 she loves to help.
That's why she's chosen a range of kitchen basics - US and UK to help you put together a good basic set of cooks tools.

She's also teamed up with Amazon to bring you an affordable range of electrical appliances - US and UK to give you all the tools you'll need to become a well rounded cook. They make great gifts too.

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:)    >>>
  1. First cook the rice - adding the turmeric and stock cube to your water.
  2. Drain and set to one side.
  3. OK - cut the zucchini in two lengthways and scrape out all the pulp.
  4. Now - cook off the onion and peppers in the olive oil.
  5. 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).
  6. Lower the heat - add the garlic and spices and cook for a further two minutes.
  7. Take it off the heat and add the rice, mixing it well.
  8. Right - place the zucchini halves in your roasting tray and fill with the mixture.
  9. Slice the chicken and arrange all around the zucchini.
  10. Sprinkle the Manchego over the top and bake in a moderate oven 180ºc/350ºf for 20/25 minutes - until golden and cooked through.

¡Enhorabuena!
