Stuffed Zucchini

Hello Friends,

Maybe I’m the only one with this problem, but I sometimes have a hard time figuring out side dishes.  Of course, I could just sauté some veggies up, but let’s face it, that’s just plain boring.  I figure, if I’m having this problem, then maybe you are too…

I’ve been trying to experiment with side dishes that are both easy and have that “wow” factor.  I think I may have done it here   Yes, I still get intimidated cooking for my chef husband, but even he liked the flavors.  With his high standards, if he gives a thumbs up, then for sure I’m sharing it with you!  And my favorite recipes are those that look complicated, taste amazing, but are super easy to make.  This definitely foots the bill. 

Stuffed Zucchini

Ingredients:

• 2 zucchinis
• 1 onion
• 1/2 tomato
• 1/4 tsp. curry
• 1 tsp. thyme
• 1 heaping Tbsp. of plain greek yogurt
• 1/4 – 1/2 tsp. salt

Method:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  While that’s preheating, wash your zucchini and cut them in half, lengthwise.  If you prefer, cut the tips off.  Spoon out the pulp.  Give that pulp a good chop along with the onion and tomato.  Sautee the onion.  When you feel the onions are done (translucent) add the curry and give it a good stir for 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl.  Add the remainder of the ingredients and mix well.  Add pulp to the zucchini ‘boats.’ Bake for 20 minutes.  Feel free to broil at the end to brown the top a little.  Enjoy!

Kid Prep Ideas:

Since there’s so much cutting and cooking with this, it may be harder to find some things for the kids to do.  They can definitely stir whenever it calls for it. They’d have a lot of fun spooning out the zucchini as well
