This is a great Greek recipe for stuffed zucchini!

I love to use seasonal zucchinis for this recipe! They are usually available in late August Add ground beef to a skillet, crumbling with you hand just before placing it in the pan. Stir the meat and the onions together and saute until the meat is cooked all the way through and has been broken up into small pieces. Stir in rice, mint, parsley, salt, and pepper and remove from the heat.

Scoop out the seeds from each of the zucchini halves. Spoon the beef and rice mixture into each of the zucchini halves and lay them back down into the baking dish in a single layer. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place in the center of the oven. Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the zucchinis are soft and a little bit crunchy on the outside. I like mine well roasted.

Ingredients...

• 8 large-sized zucchini, washed, trimmed, and sliced lengthwise
• 1/3 cup Greek olive oil, plus some for brushing
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup short grain rice
• 2 tablespoons chopped, fresh mint
• 2 tablespoons chopped, fresh parsley
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste

Do you ever add a avgolemono sauce?

I do sometimes! For me, it depends on if I have any broth left from the cooking process.
