Directions
Yaya’s Stuffed Zucchini Bake, These make a wonderful vegetarian meal You can even add some crumbled tofu to the filling for protein Note: I have tried skipping the pre-boiling stage but I found that it was really important for bringing out the sweetness of the zucchini (which can often have a bitter tinge) and to maintain the lovely texture of this dish , used eight ball zucchini and wanted to keep the round shape, so I hollowed them out and added the stuffing I don’t recommend doing this By the time the zucchini walls and topping were cooked, the stuffing inside was still undercooked and mushy The top tasted great Next time I’ll cut them in half to cook better
