This Zucchini boat dish is just a canvas for a creative opportunity to use up any vegg and/or any ground meat you may have on hand. Here's what had "to go" on this particular day...
Filling:
Sauté diced onions,
1 smashed clove garlic, chopped red and yellow cabbage, shredded carrot, parsley.
Add ground beef to brown. Add chicken stock, a bit of tomato passata or ketchup.
Spices: cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic salt, chili powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. OR...a packet of Taco seasoning.
Half the raw zucchinis and scoop out the center with a spoon. The pulp goes in the meat mixture.
In a pan than you can use to bake and broil, layer some tomato passata and olivenoil, salt and peepper. Lay the zucchini boats side by side and full each with the meat mixture. Top with whatever grated cheese you have, love Cheddar on this. And, don't forget your favorite hot sauce to go...
At 350F, bake for 40 min or so and then broil for a couple of minutes for melty cheese action.
You can see how this concoction is open to so many variations. The zucchini is just a low carb vessel for a delish dish.
Pick a theme, Italian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, and fill them up! Great leftovers too.
