Equipment
- Food Processor optional
Ingredients
- 3 small to medium zucchinis ends trimmed and cut half lengthwise
- 1 medium to large tomato washed, cored and diced
- 1 small bell pepper stemmed, seeded and diced
- ½ cup kalamata olives diced
- 1 clove garlic minced or pressed
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano or 1/4 tsp dried
- 1 Tablespoon minced fresh basil
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Move oven racks to medium and top positions. Scoop out the interior of the zucchini with a spoon, so that there is a little well to place the filling, leaving the ends of the zucchini in place so that the filling won't run out.
- Stir the tomatoes, bell peppers, olives, garlic, herbs, feta, olive oil and peppers together in a medium bowl until uniform.
- Spoon the stuffing into the hollowed out zucchinis. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet for 10 minutes on the middle rack until zucchini just begins to soften. Turn oven to broil and move zucchini to the top rack. Broil for 3-5 minutes until feta cheese begins to brown.
Notes
Serves 3 as an entree or 6 as an appetizer.
