Zucchini Boats- Guest Post

Serves 4

This is a guest post from my best friend’s mum again- remember the Thai Green Curry? Well she is in town again and I had these delicious treats while I was over at my friend’s place and I HAD to get the recipe from her. For those people who turn up their nose at zucchini, this is a great way to make it interesting and different. The plus side? They are so much fun to look at and are gluten free!

What you need:

2 large zucchinis
1 medium onion diced finely
3/4 cup Paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese) diced finely
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Olive oil for greasing and brushing
1.5 tsps mixed Italian herbs of your choice
Crushed red chilli flakes to taste
¼ cup Chopped coriander or parsley
Grated cheese for garnishing
½ tsp ginger minced
½ tsp garlic minced

How to:

  1. Grease a baking pyrex dish
  2. Cut the zucchinis in half 
  3. Take the half and cut it into 3 to 4 inch pieces
  4. Scoop out the inside of each piece to create a bowl/boat for the stuffing, and finely dice the scooped out zucchini- set aside
  5. Brush the inside of the boats with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper
  6. For the stuffing, sauté ginger, garlic and onion in a small frying pan in some of the olive oil
  7. Add the scooped out zucchini and sauté it on higher heat to avoid excess water
  8. When the mixture is dry, add the chopped paneer, coriander/parsley and spices and mix for a minute then take off the stove
  9. Let the zucchini mixture cool, stuff the boats with it, topping with some grated cheese
  10. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 to 15 minutes in the pyrex dish


Serve hot!
