MEDITERRANEAN STUFFED ZUCCHINI
Here's a delicious way to solve the problem of those too-big zucchinis ballooning in your garden at the end of the summer: zucchini boats baked and stuffed with lamb, feta, pine nuts, tomatoes, and more. It's just like your mother used to make, but with an exotic Mediterranean twist!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Use a melon baller to separate and remove seeds and pulp separately from the zucchini, carving out each half and leaving about a half-inch shell. Chop zucchini pulp into pieces about 1/4 inch in diameter. Discard seeds.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add ground lamb; continue to cook and stir until lamb is lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir chopped zucchini into the lamb mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer mixture until the zucchini is hot, about 3 minutes. Drain excess grease. Season lamb mixture with coarse salt and black pepper.
- Remove skillet from heat. Stir tomato sauce, tomatoes, feta cheese, pine nuts, and 1/4 cup mint leaves through the lamb mixture; spoon into the zucchini halves. Put stuffed zucchini halves into a large baking dish. Pour water into the baking dish.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Mix bread crumbs and mozzarella cheese in a bowl. Sprinkle 1/4 cup mint leaves over the zucchini and top with the bread crumb mixture. Continue baking until the top is crusty and browned, about 10 minutes more.

PROSCIUTTO-STUFFED ZUCCHINI WITH FETA AND BROWN BUTTER
You know when people say, "That's the stuff dreams are made of"? They're referring to brown butter. I'm a big believer that apps for entertaining should be wildly impressive on the plate and easy behind the scenes. In this flavorful twist on rollatini, briny feta and salty prosciutto are layered together inside rosemary-scented zucchini slices. Splashed with sweet, nutty brown butter, these fantastic hors d'oeuvres might only make it to the party in your mouth.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Trim the ends of the zucchini so that they have a flat, sturdy bottom. Stand them up on your cutting board and using a very sharp knife (or mandoline), cut the zucchini lengthwise into 18 strips 1/8 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and rosemary. Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with the rosemary oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the zucchini slices on a baking sheet and roast, flipping each strip halfway through, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a small skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once the butter is fully melted, increase the heat to medium. Whisking occasionally, keep an eye on the butter as it begins to foam, and then changes from a pale blonde to a golden shade, about 5 minutes. When the butter's aroma becomes very fragrant and nutty and the color is a deep golden tone, remove the pan from the heat.
- Season the butter with a pinch of salt, whisk vigorously, and then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of any dark brown bits.
- Lay the cooled zucchini strips on a flat surface and top each one with a thin slice of prosciutto. Place 1 scant tablespoon of feta on the bottom of the strips and roll the zucchini closed.
- Arrange the rolls seam-side down on a large platter and drizzle them evenly with the brown butter. Garnish with the chopped parsley and lemon zest.
FETA SUN-DRIED TOMATO STUFFED PROSCIUTTO BURGERS
Steps:
- In a grill with a cover, prepare a medium-hot fire for direct-heat cooking.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and basil. Set aside. In another small bowl, combine the feta cheese and tomatoes. Divide into 6 equal portions, forming balls. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the ground sirloin, eggs, pepper sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic, bread crumbs, and Parmesan. With hands or a large spoon, gently bring all ingredients together; do not overmix. Form meat mixture into 12 patties. On 6 of the patties, gently place the feta and tomato mixture onto patties, pressing down lightly. Place remaining patties on top, press, and seal edges to totally enclose filling, forming 6 total patties.
- When the fire is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place patties on grill, cover, and cook for 4 minutes, until bottom is brown. With spatula, turn over patties and cook an additional 4 minutes, or until done to your preference. During the last few minutes of grilling, place focaccia, cut side down, on outer edges of grill to lightly toast.
- Spread generous portions of basil mayonnaise on cut sides of bread. Place patties on bottom pieces of bread, then top with a slice of prosciutto, a lettuce leaf, and red onion rings. Top with remaining bread and serve.

STUFFED ZUCCHINI WITH WALNUTS AND FETA
I made these for lunch today and thought they were quite good. They could either be served as a vegetable side, or as a light lunch or supper dish. I used 2 fairly large zucchini, but kept the filling ingredients in the amounts listed. The recipe is from a book about Greek food.

Steps:
- Put the zucchini in a large pan of boiling water, return to a boil, and then boil for 3 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, drain again and let cool.
- When the zucchini are cool enough to handle, cut a thin strip off the top side of each one with a sharp knife and gently score around the inside edges to help scoop out the flesh. Using a teaspoon, scoop out the flesh, leaving a shell to hold the stuffing. Chop the zucchini flesh.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and fry for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the chopped zucchini flesh and fry 5 minutes, until the onion is golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the cheese then the walnuts, bread crumbs, egg, dill, salt, and pepper. Use the stuffing to fill the zucchini shells, and place side by side in an ovenproof dish. Drizzle over the remaining oil.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375F for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown (mine weren't as brown as I wanted so I broiled them a couple of minutes). Serve hot.

ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH FETA AND BASIL
Easy to make, savory and a nice presentation. You could use dill rather than basil in the stuffing if you prefer.
