Stuffed Zucchinis Cups

Ingredients:
  • 2 large(XL) zucchini
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 4 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 small onions- thinly diced
  • 1 bell pepper- thinly diced
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and Pepper or other seasoning
Optional: Grated cheese for topping

Note: Zucchini I used were from farmers market, so they were really big. I haven't seen them that big at stores. So you may need to use few more if they are smaller.

How to:
  1. Mix in rice, ground chicken, onions, bell pepper, egg and season.
  2. Cut zucchini into 2 inch slices, scoop out inside. Be sure to keep sides and bottom thick enough to hold filling.
  3. Preheat oven to 375F. Stuff zucchini with mixture.
  4. Bake stuffed zucchini for 30-40 minutes, until fully cooked.
Note: I did keep the insides of zucchini, made zucchini paste with it. Great dip for appetizer. I will post recipe as soon as I can. 


Photo: Stuffed Zucchinis Cups I have been zucchini obsessed; have made five different meals with zucchini in past 2 weeks. I have served this to guest on few different occasions and they liked it. Something we don’t see often and great for kinder foods too when you are serving a lot of people. Idea for this recipe came from pinterest, I have also mixed in some of the Slavic basics. 2 large(XL) zucchini 1 lb ground chicken 4 cups cooked brown rice 1 small onions- thinly diced 1 bell pepper- thinly diced 1 egg Salt and Pepper or other seasoning Optional: Grated cheese for topping Note: Zucchini I used were from farmers market, so they were really big.
