How to Make Zucchini Stuffed With Goat Cheese And Mint
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, gently scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell. Set shells aside.
- Lightly salt the zucchini shells, place them cut-side down on a paper towel-lined plate to drain for 20 minutes.
- Finely chop the scooped-out zucchini flesh.
- In a medium bowl, sauté the chopped onion and garlic in 1 teaspoon of olive oil until softened (about 3 minutes).
- Add the pureed zucchini flesh to the bowl with the onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pat the zucchini shells dry with a paper towel.
- Fill each zucchini shell with the zucchini-onion-garlic mixture.
- Drizzle the stuffed zucchini with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil.
- Place the stuffed zucchini in a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
- While the zucchini is baking, combine the softened goat cheese, mint leaves, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until a smooth paste forms.
- Once the zucchini is cooked, spoon the goat cheese mixture over the warm stuffing.
- Sprinkle with ground cumin and chopped walnuts.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
