Stuffed Zucchini is a light yet satisfying dish that is easy to prepare in the kitchen and is a perfect choice for a lighter meal. The zucchini is filled with a mixture of seasoned ground meat, rice, cheese, or vegetables, and the dish is usually prepared in the oven, allowing the flavors of the filling to blend nicely. This dish is especially ideal for those who want to enrich their meals with vegetables.
The charm of stuffed zucchini lies in its simplicity. The dish can be prepared quickly, yet every bite provides a delicious experience. The light texture of the zucchini pairs perfectly with the rich fillings, while the whole dish remains a healthy and tempting choice. It's perfectly suited for a light dinner or even a summer lunch.
Halve the zucchini lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh and set aside.
Finely chop the onion and garlic, then sauté in oil until softened. Add the ground meat and the scooped-out zucchini flesh, and cook until browned.
Pre-cook the rice, then add it to the meat mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the filling into the zucchini halves. Spread sour cream on top and sprinkle with grated cheese.
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown.
