How to Make Stuffed Zucchini With Walnuts And Feta

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 2 large zucchini (about 1 pound total) and boil for 3 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer zucchini to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside to cool.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to slice off the top of each zucchini. Gently scoop out the flesh, leaving a ½-inch thick shell.
  4. Finely chop the scooped zucchini flesh (approximately 1 ½ cups).
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add ½ cup finely chopped yellow onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
  7. Add the chopped zucchini flesh and cook for another 5 minutes, until the onions are golden brown.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  9. Stir in 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, ½ cup chopped walnuts, ½ cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Fill each zucchini shell generously with the stuffing mixture.
  11. Arrange the stuffed zucchini in a baking dish.
  12. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the zucchini.
  13. Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes.
  14. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the zucchini are tender and golden brown.
  15. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
