Baked Stuffed Zucchini image

This is another recipe on a newspaper clipping my mom and I found when cleaning out one of her kitchen closets. These make a great side dish, or light meal served up with a green salad.

Categories     Pork

Time 20m

Yield 4 zucchini, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 small zucchini
1/2 lb pork sausage
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup diced day-old bread (any type)
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cut a small sliver from the bottom of each zucchini so it will lie flat without rolling over. Cut a larger sliver from the top to expose the insides of the zucchini. Use a spoon to carefully hollow out the zucchini, being careful not to break all the way through the skin.
  • Coarsely chop the zucchini insides. Mince the garlic.
  • In a nonstick skillet, brown the sausage. Drain well.
  • Mix the chopped zucchini, sausage, and garlic. Stir in the diced bread and moisten with the chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide the stuffing mixture among the 4 hollowed-out zucchini. Place them in a shallow microwave-safe baking dish. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Microwave 4-5 minutes, until zucchini is tender. Let stand 2-3 minutes before serving.
