• 份量: 3 servings
• 活動時間: 15 minutes
• 總時間: 1 hour

食材

675 grams ( 3 medium) zucchinis

150 grams (1 cup + 1 tbsp) crumbled feta cheese

90 grams (½ cup) Greek yogurt strained

20 grams (1 medium) Spring onion

40 grams (½ cup) grated Gruyere cheese

½ lemon zest

½ teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

1 tablespoon olive oil (+ a little bit extra to drizzle on top)

⅓ teaspoon dried oregano (+ a little bit extra to sprinkle on top)

步驟

Preheat oven to 200°C / 390°F.

Prepare The Zucchini:

Cut off the tops and bottoms of the zucchinis. Then cut a thin long slice to reveal the flesh of the zucchini. Using a vegetable corer or a teaspoon scoop the flesh creating a zucchini boat that's ½ cm (¼ inch thick) all around the sides. (see note 1 below)

In a small bowl mix together the olive oil and oregano. Brush or rub this mixture all over the insides of the zucchinis. Don't discard what's left of it, we will use it for the filling. Season the zucchini very lightly with salt and a little bit of pepper.

Add the zucchini to a small baking dish or non-stick pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until the zucchini is slightly softened when pricked with a toothpick.

Prepare The Filling:

In a mixing bowl add both types of cheese, the Greek yogurt, spring onion, garlic powder, lemon zest, parsley, and season lightly with ground pepper. Add also the remaining olive oil and oregano. Stir well to combine.

Remove the zucchini from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Turn down the oven's temperature to 180°C /356°F.

Stuff The Zucchini:

Stuff each zucchini with the cheese filling. Don't let it come out too much on top. Press the filling to fit inside the zucchini. Drizzle with a drop of olive oil and a sprinkle of oregano on top.

Bake:

Add back in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Until the cheese filling gets some color on top and looks set.

Serve either warm or cold with extra olive oil on top if you like. Enjoy!
