Stuffed zucchini
Stuffed zucchini recipes have been around for centuries, with the earliest known recipe dating back to the 1st century AD. The dish is thought to have originated in the Mediterranean, and was likely brought to Europe by the Arabs during the Middle Ages.
The dish gained popularity in Italy during the Renaissance, and soon spread to other parts of Europe. By the 18th century, stuffed zucchini was a well-known dish in both England and France.
The traditional stuffed zucchini recipe calls for the squash to be stuffed with a mixture of rice, breadcrumbs, and herbs. However, over the years, many different variations of the dish have emerged.
Advice
Stuffed zucchini is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy summer squash. My advice for making stuffed zucchini is to choose small to medium-sized zucchinis for the best flavor. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh to make room for your stuffing. Choose a stuffing that is flavorful and that will compliment the natural flavor of the zucchini, such as a mix of cooked quinoa, vegetables, and herbs. Cook the stuffing in a separate pan before stuffing the zucchini halves and place them in an oven-safe dish. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes and enjoy!
