- Divide dill sprigs and next 6 ingredients between 2 clean, hot 1-quart jars; set aside.

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.

Tips:
- Choose tender zucchini: Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are large, soft, or have blemishes, as these may be bitter or have a tough texture.
- Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a mandoline, be careful not to slice the zucchini too thinly, or they will become mushy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the zucchini, make sure to spread them out in a single layer in the pan so that they cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the zucchini will steam instead of fry and will become soggy.
- Cook the zucchini over medium-high heat: This will help them brown quickly and develop a slightly crispy exterior.
- Season the zucchini well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all classic seasonings that work well with zucchini. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as dill, thyme, or rosemary, to taste.
- Serve the zucchini immediately: Zucchini is best served hot and fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can cook them and then reheat them gently in a pan or in the microwave.
Conclusion:
Zucchini with dill is a simple but flavorful side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. With its tender texture, slightly crispy exterior, and fresh dill flavor, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
