December 30, 2007: Fetta Stuffed Zucchini Amongst Sweetness Tater Chips

A few days later Christmas I visited a household unit of measurement friend together with returned domicile alongside zucchinis together with eggs. Maybe the zucchinis don't await all that intimidating at commencement glance, but compare them to the biro posed at the tiptop of the movie - these are big zucchinis. Over the next calendar week I managed to knock 'em downward alongside i dish per zucchini.

For my commencement trick, I tried stuffing one. I intend the mild, watery flavor of zucchini industrial plant good alongside line of piece of job solid salty cheese similar haloumi or fetta together with hence I decided that fetta would survive the characteristic ingredient. Add or together with hence garlic, capsicum together with parsley together with it's genuinely a rather flavoursome together with rattling summery dish.

On the side I had a shot at sweetness Irish Gaelic patato chips. They didn't move spectacularly, but I didn't convey high hopes - it's hard to larn them crispy! I only sliced the Irish Gaelic patato thinly together with baked it inwards a fleck of oil. The chips may convey fared amend if I'd been able to spread them out together with hence they weren't overlapping - the few leftover ones worked nicely nether the grill this way.

There was no leftover zucchini #1 to consume alongside the chips, but at that topographic point was a fleck of filling. It was only the matter for a toasted sandwich.


Fetta stuffed zucchini

1 massive zucchini (or 2-3 normal ones)
1 capsicum, chopped
3 cloves garlic
pepper
80g fetta
1-2 tablespoons parsley, chopped roughly
1/4 loving cup breadcrumbs (optional)
oil

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.

Slice the zucchini(s) inwards one-half lengthways together with scoop out a hollow inwards each piece. I institute it easiest to gently draw the borders of the hollow I wanted alongside a knife earlier earthworks inwards alongside a spoon. Set the zucchinis hollow-side-up on a apartment oven tray. (Lightly grease the tray if you lot wish, but I don't intend it's necessary.)

Roughly chop the zucchini innards. Heat a small-scale amount of crude oil inwards a frypan together with get the zucchini innards together with capsicum over medium heat. Add the garlic later a pair of minutes. When the capsicum has softened, transfer the veges to a bowl. Add pepper to taste, crumble inwards the fetta together with stir inwards the parsley.

Gently pile the filling into the zucchini hollows. Sprinkle on the breadcrumbs if you lot desire them, together with drizzle on a teensy fleck of olive crude oil if you lot experience similar Jamie Oliver. Bake until the tiptop has browned slightly together with the zucchini is tender but withal firm. (About xv minutes, from memory.)
