Whether that's stuffed mushrooms, stuffed peppers or (our fave) stuffed courgettes. A great low-carb alternative, stuffing a vegetable like courgette with a bunch of delicious fillings can never go wrong in our eyes.
How to prepare the courgettes Cut the top off the courgettes and with a spoon or a round vegetable scoop, Dig the centre of the courgettes. Season them with salt and pepper. Put the centre of the courgettes in a Braun Blender and mix with 4 tbsp of the breadcrumbs. Oil the base of a baking dish.
Easy to make, the stuffed round courgettes are a balanced meal for a healthy family dinner. Even the children will happily eat their veg here. If you cannot find round zucchini you can use regular ones cut lengthwise. For this recipe I like to use round zucchini as they are easy to fill, but you can also use long zucchini cut lengthwise.
Karen’s stuffed courgette recipe makes the most of seasonal round courgettes, available from most good greengrocers. This recipe makes a wonderfully light lunch dish as it uses minced chicken, but feel free to adapt to your tastes; using beef mince for a more hearty flavour or cooked rice if catering for vegetarians.
