Zucchini Boats

Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables - I could probably eat it every day (that's why it gets its own label on the side of the blog). Taylor found this recipe, and it turned out to be another big success! The only problem we had, is this recipe (found here) is meant for large zucchini... and the store only had small/medium ones.

1 tbsp sour cream
1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
1/2 tomato
2 tsp thyme
2 zucchinis
1 onion
Cheese

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Slice them in half length-ways. You can trim the ends if you like. Spoon out the guts. Just take it out (leave about 1/2 an inch in) until you end up with boat like shells.
 
Now give the zucchini pulp a good chop, also chop a small onion and 1/2 a tomato while you’re at it. Sautee the onions in one tbsp oil or butter.

Now (in no particular order), add the thyme, salt pepper, sour cream, the zucchini pulp, and the tomato. Lightly butter a baking dish and put the zucchini boats in. Grab a spoon and fill the shells with the mix. Sprinkle some aged cheese on top. Put them in a preheated oven, give them about 20 minutes and then turn on the grill until the top is golden brown.

 

Rating: The only hard part about this recipe was spooning out the zucchini, otherwise super easy to make... and very cheap! It was pretty filling too.
