STUFFED ZUCCHINI WITH TOASTED WALNUTS & FETA
A light vegetarian dish which is simple to make and quite delicious. Perfect for when the zucchini glut starts in the garden. I like to use smaller zucchini to make these. Mine were each about 6 inches in length and about 3 inches in circumference.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to the boil. Place the zucchini into the water, bring back to the boil and then cook for 3 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, drain again, and set aside to cool.
- Cut a thin strip off the top side of each zucchini. Using a melon baller, and leaving a shell about 1/4 inch thick all round, scoop out the interior of each zucchini. Chop the flesh from the insides into bits.
- Heat 2 TBS of the oil in a skillet. Add the onion and garlic and saute for about 5 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the zucchini flesh and cook for 5 minutes longer, at which point the onions should be golden brown. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 190*C/375*F/ gas mark 5. Have ready a baking dish large enough to hold the zucchini in a single layer.
- Beat the egg and add to the cooked vegetables along with the bread crumbs, chopped walnuts, crumbled feta cheese, salt and pepper. Use this mixture to stuff each zucchini and place them into the baking dish, stuffing side up. Drlzzle with the remaining olive oil.
- Cover tightly and bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Uncover and bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot.
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.

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.

SAUTEED ZUCCHINI WITH FETA
Steps:
- In a 12-inch skillet, heat the oil on low. Slowly saute the zucchini and garlic, with a little salt, until golden and slightly caramelized, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in parsley or basil, cilantro and feta.
ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH FETA AND DILL
Steps:
- Trim and discard the stem ends from 2 of the zucchini, halve the 2 zucchini lengthwise, and with a melon-ball cutter scoop out the flesh, reserving it and leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. Arrange the shells, cut sides up, on a steamer rack set over simmering water and steam them, covered, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are just tender. Invert the shells on paper towels to drain.
- Cut the remaining 2 zucchini crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. In a non-stick skillet cook the onions in the oil over moderate heat, stirring, until they are softened, add the reserved flesh, chopped, and the zucchini slices, and sauté the mixture over moderately high heat, stirring, until it is golden. In a food processor blend the mixture with the Feta until the zucchini slices are chopped coarse and stir in the dill. Divide the filling among the 4 zucchini shells, arrange the stuffed zucchini in an oiled flameproof baking dish, and broil them under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 3 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and deep golden.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cook and stir the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until the meat is browned, breaking the beef up into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Drain off excess fat, and transfer the beef into a mixing bowl. Slice the zucchini in half the long way, and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch thick shell all around the zucchini. Chop the scooped-out zucchini flesh, and add to mixing bowl. Stir in the bread crumbs, garlic, spaghetti sauce, black olives, and Parmesan cheese; mix the stuffing well. Lightly stuff both halves of the zucchini with the meat mixture. Place the zucchini halves into a baking dish, and cover tightly with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, remove from oven, and remove the foil. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over each zucchini half. Move an oven rack to within 6 inches of the oven broiler's heat source, turn on the broiler, and broil the zucchini until the mozzarella cheese is browned and bubbling, about 5 minutes.
