Prepare your stuffed round zucchini in advance to enhance the flavors

 

My recipe is easy and very simple, prepare a delicious dish with few ingredients.

 

 

For my stuffed zucchini I have used round zucchini, they are very aesthetic and easier to stuff than the elongated ones. For the filling I have used beef, onion, cheddar cheese, sea salt and a mixture of peppers. I have decorated the dish with homemade ketchup and extra virgin olive oil.

Do you realize? There are only 4 ingredients! It couldn’t be simpler considering the result.

 

These stuffed round zucchini are suitable to take-away, enjoy it at work.

 

This is one of those recipes with low difficulty and guaranteed satisfaction, don’t complicate things and make your day-to-day easier.

You just have to boil the whole zucchini in salted water for 10-15 minutes, when they are warm, cut off the top and empty them with a spoon, being careful not to break them.

In a frying pan, sauté the onion and minced meat, add salt and pepper. You should also add the zucchini meat, and finish cooking everything together.

Next, fill the zucchini, add cheese and gratin them.

It’s all very simple and quick and they are amazing.

To decorate this dish, I added a little homemade ketchup and a few drops of extra virgin olive oil.

As a starter, I think a tomato soup would be perfect, and a cauliflower soup would also be perfect, although I must say that if you have a couple of zucchini you have more than enough and it works as a single dish.

 

 

 

These Stuffed Round Zucchini are very light because they do not have bechamel sauce, if you want to add that creamy touch to the dish, you can use my recipe for cauliflower soup as a fake bechamel and add it to the filling, read the entry carefully to make sure that the cauliflower cream is thick enough and can fulfill the function of amalgamating the filling mixture, keep in mind that if it is very liquid the filling will not be as consistent as it should be.

If you decide to add the cauliflower cream as a bechamel you will enrich the dish, but make sure it is well seasoned and spiced, we don’t want to wash the whole thing out.

In addition to adding the cream of cauliflower to the filling, you can also put a couple of spoonfuls in the center of the plate as a base and present the zucchini or zucchini on top, add a few drops around itof homemade ketchup or homemade tomato sauce, it will be delicious!
