Zucchini means “sweet” in Italian and it's the perfect way to describe these delicate and tender veggies.

Ingredients

3 Organic yellow or zucchini squash

Wild Oats Organic Olive Oil

1 Or 2 organic tomatoes, seeded and chopped

2 cloves Garlic, minced

1 tsp Oregano

4 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled

8 Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

1/2 cup Bread crumbs

1 tsp Lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Parboil squash in salted water until center is tender, about 5 minutes. Cool and slice lengthwise. Scoop out pulp to create a shell for the filling, brush with olive oil and set aside. Sauté garlic and tomatoes in a little olive oil for about 2 minutes. Place in a bowl and mix together with the rest of the ingredients. Spoon the mixture evenly into each squash. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until the squash is soft and the cheese is melted.
