    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve the zucchinis lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Set the zucchini flesh aside.

    2

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

    3

    Add the tomato paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, and Hungarian sweet paprika. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom.

    4

    Stir in the cooked red lentils, couscous, and reserved zucchini flesh. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, until the flavors have melded.

    5

    Fill the zucchini halves with the lentil mixture and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    6

    Bake the stuffed zucchini for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the zucchini is tender.

    7

    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
