Yield 8 appetizer or side-dish servings; 4 main-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 medium zucchini (approximately 5 ounces each), rinsed and sliced in half, lengthwise
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped mushrooms
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 pound lean veal, coarsely ground
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Scoop out the insides of the zucchini halves with a small spoon. Reserve the cored halves and the insides.
  • Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes more. Add the celery and the reserved insides of the zucchini and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the white wine and cook it down for 1 minute. Add the veal and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until it browns nicely, approximately 8 minutes. Stir in the basil and the rosemary and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat, place in a bowl, and allow to cool.
  • Once the mixture has cooled, blend in the cheese, egg, butter, salt, and pepper. Fill the cored zucchini with the mixture.
  • Fill a baking pan with 1/4 inch of water. Place the filled zucchini halves in the pan and bake for 40 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the zucchini carefully from the pan to a warm platter, spooning the juices from the pan on top of them, and serve.

I'm allergic to zucchini. Can I use a different vegetable?

Overall, I thought this was a good recipe. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes.

I found that the cooking time was a little too long. The zucchini got a little mushy.

These were a little bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough salt and pepper.

These were so good! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still amazing.
