Stuffed Zucchini

Contributed By: sariahc
Franklin, TN Farmers Market

After baking, serve each side whole as an impressive entree, or slice into bitesized pieces and skewer with toothpicks for a farm fresh appetizer.

Ingredients

1 Extra large zucchini (or marrow)

1 1lb Ground pork or beef (I used Three Meadows Ground Pork)

1 cup Italian breadcrumbs

1 Medium sweet onion, finely chopped

1 Egg, beaten

1 tsp Oregano

1 tsp Basil

½ tsp Sage

½ tsp Rosemary

Salt and Pepper

Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.

2. Slice the zucchini lengthwise in half and scoop out the seeds.

3. Place the zucchini on a baking sheet covered with foil.

4. Mix the remaining ingredients, except for the Parmesan Cheese, together in a bowl.

5. Fill the scooped out centers of the zucchini halves with the meat filling.

6. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top of the zucchini.

7. Cover the stuffed zucchini with foil and bake for an hour, or until zucchini is soft and meat filling thoroughly cooked (meat thermometer reads 170ºF).

8. Remove the foil and increase the oven heat to 375ºF to brown the cheese.
