We all have lots of zucchinni, and neighbors giving us zucchinni thats 2 foot long...what's your bust Zucchinni recipe ?

STUFFED BAKED ZUCCHINNI

6 zucchini of the same size, weighing about 1 3/4 pounds (800 g) in all

1/4 pound (100 g) ground beef

1/4 pound (100 g) fresh mild Italian sausage, peeled and crumbled

A couple ounces of day old bread, crusts removed and crumbled (3/4 cup not packed)

4 tablespoons grated Parmigiano

An egg

1 clove garlic

A medium-sized onion

A small bunch parsley

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 a bullion cube

Fresh thyme

Salt & pepper to taste

1/2 tablespoon tomato paste diluted in 1/4 cup water or broth

PREPARATION:

*If using a big Zucchinni , i take a baking sheet and put it over two stove burners and cook flesh side down in boiling water)))

Moisten the bread in cold water. Salt some water in a large pot and bring it to a boil. While it's heating cut the zucchini in half and scoop out the pulp. Mince the pulp with the onion, garlic and parsley, and sauté the mixture in the butter and oil until it is lightly browned, then crumble the bullion over it and transfer it to a bowl. Squeeze the bread dry and combine it, the egg, the cheese, and the meats with the vegetable mixture. Mix well and season the stuffing to taste with salt, pepper and thyme.

By now the water in the pot will be boiling; add the zucchini and cook them for 5 minutes from the time the water resumes boiling. Then remove them and set them upside down so they drain as they cool. Preheat your oven to 380 F (190 C).

Fill the zucchini with the stuffing, pressing it down firmly. Arrange the zucchini in a buttered pan, brush them with the tomato mixture, and bake them for 25 minutes, basting regularly with the pan drippings. If they appear to be overbrowning, cover them with some aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes. Serve at once.
