SAEDNEWS: A flavorful stuffed pumpkin dish made by filling pumpkin with a savory mixture and baking it until tender and delicious.
According to Saednews, Stuffed Zucchini Recipe:
4 medium zucchini
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
⅓ cup dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter
About 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt and black pepper, as needed
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
Wash the zucchini, trim off the ends, and cut each one lengthwise. Scoop out the inside with a spoon, leaving the zucchini shells intact. Season the inside lightly with salt and pepper. Grease a baking dish with sides and arrange the zucchini shells inside.
To prepare the filling, heat the butter in a separate pan. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until softened. Add the scooped-out zucchini flesh and cook together until the zucchini changes color and becomes lightly browned.
Season with salt and pepper, then add the breadcrumbs and sauté for about 1 minute. Remove the mixture from the heat and spoon it into the hollowed zucchini shells.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the stuffed zucchini. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the zucchini is cooked through and the cheese on top becomes golden.
