This Stuffed Zucchini recipe is one your taste buds will remember. Made with fresh herbs, earthy vegetables, and hearty beef, this dish is jam-packed with flavor.

Zuchine1 1024x1020 1

Every summer, I look forward to the abundance of zucchini that comes into my kitchen. It’s my chance to come up with new, unique ways of serving the humble green vegetable, or recreating my tried, tested, and favorite recipes. From chocolate cake to zoodles, zucchinis get a lot of lovin’ in our home. And when I made this stuffed zucchini dish the other day, I knew we had a new favorite zucchini recipe. It has already been requested again – it is that good.

I know there are so many yummy variations of stuffed zucchini. But this one has got to be my favorite.

So what goes into this recipe? And why is it so delicious?

Ground beef. This is what makes this recipe a complete dish. It’s hearty, delicious, and gives the recipe an extra oomph of flavor from the fat. You could use ground lamb here too.

Onions and garlic. For a delicious flavorful base.

Pine nuts, raisins, cinnamon. This is what makes this recipe to the other level. It gives it a unique flavor profile. It makes this stuffed zucchini dish like no other stuffed zucchini you’ve had before.

These ingredients come together in a beautifully harmonious way in a pan. This mixture gets “stuffed” into the hollowed-out zucchini. You’ll then place all the zucchini in a baking dish and then top it with chopped tomatoes.

Finally, you’ll bake and wait. Broiling for the last 5 minutes also gives it a beautiful finish.

Enjoy!

Directions for Oven Baked Beef Stuffed Zucchini

Steps

Set out an oven safe baking dish.

In a large pot of salted boiling water blanch the zucchini, boil just until it’s almost tender; drain well.

Chop 1 large onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic.

In a pan, heat 1/4 extra virgin olive oil.

Add in chopped onion and sauté until lightly browned.

Add in minced garlic, 1/2 cup of pine nuts, 1/4 cup of raisins, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Simmer for 5 minutes.

To the pan add 1 pound of ground lamb or beef. Sauté for 10 minutes or until browned.

Cut a lid out of the top of each zucchini. I cut my zucchini in half, it was easier to stuff and easier to serve.

Add the zucchini flesh into the meat mix and cook until the liquid absorbs. Salt and pepper to taste.

With a teaspoon fill the hollowed zucchini and place in baking dish.

Thinly sliced tomatoes and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into the dish with zucchini.

Place in oven uncovered for 30 minutes. I broiled for last 5 minutes. Serve hot.
