GRILLED CORN STUFFED ZUCCHINI
Steps:
- Preheat the grill to medium. Slice the zucchini lengthwise, scoop out seeds and pulp and discard. Grill the corn until charred, then remove them from the grill and cut the kernels off the cobs. In a medium bowl add the corn and the butter and toss to coat. Add the herbs and garlic and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in 1 to 2 ounces of the grated Parmesan. Stuff the zucchini with the corn mixture and grill over medium heat until warm. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and serve when the cheese melts.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh zucchini and corn. If using frozen corn, thaw it and drain it well before using.
- Be careful not to overcook the zucchini. It should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- If you don't have a baking dish, you can also cook the zucchini in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to cover the skillet so that the zucchini cooks evenly.
- Serve the zucchini hot or warm. It can be enjoyed as a main course or side dish.
