Stuffed Zucchini

My parents have a garden this year and are growing zucchini. They had one that grew a little too big and my mom told me the big ones were good for stuffing and bakin in the oven. So I took the large zucchini to try my hand at stuffing it.

First I cut it in half and then in half length wise. After I cut them I thought I should have left it whole and cut thick slices and then hallowed out the middle of them. Then they would stand up and be cute little zucchini rings. That would have been fun.





















I decided to use Italian sausage to stuff the zucchini.

















And tomato paste.
















Instant brown rice and equal parts water

















Sauteed onions and a green pepper (not shown)
















Mix, mix, mix.















Fill the cut zucchini with sausage mixture


















Bake covered 375 30-45 minutes. Till sausage is cooked and zucchini is soft.


Next time I'll probably oil, salt and pepper the zucchini before filling them.
Yum!
