Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C and wash the zucchini.
2. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp with a spoon, leaving a shell.
3. Chop the zucchini pulp finely and sauté it in a pan for 5 minutes until soft, then let it cool.
4. In a bowl, mix the lean beef mince, the cooked pulp, the egg, parmesan, and chopped parsley.
5. Fill the zucchini shells with the meat mixture and sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs.
6. Place the zucchini on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the meat is cooked through and the top is golden brown.

Tips

• Choose medium-sized zucchini as they are easier to hollow out and hold the filling better.
• Prepare them a few hours in advance; they are even tastier when the flavors have had time to settle.
