Zucchini filled with meat

Category: Side dish/entrée/main meal
Nb persons: 6

6 big zucchini - about 200g each
160g ground meat - (I have used only beef, but you
-can mix with pork meat , if you like)
50g reggiano cheese
1tbS dried onion
1tbS dried majoran, thyme, oregano
1tbs fresh or frozen parsley - minced
1tbs breadcrumb
1 egg
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
For the Tomato sauce:
2tbs EVOO - (extra virgin olive oil)
1medium onion - fresh
1tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1tsp oregano

Light your oven and bring it to a temperature of 180°C (350F). I have used
convention oven.
Wash zucchini and cut the extremities, Then cut them longitudinally in about
three pieces. Then, with the proper tool :"Zucchini cutter" (you can see the
tool in the follow pic) take away the internal pulp of each piece of
zucchina. Put the pulp in a robot and mince just for a little. Keep only
2/3 cup of this pulp, throw away the other (You can use for other recipe).
Put the minced zucchini pulp in a bowl and mix it with ground meat, and the
other ingredients of recipe. With this mix, fill the pieces of zucchini
(helping yourselves with a teaspoon).
Now prepare the tomato sauce:
In a saucepan put oil and chopped onion. When the onion is soft (not brown),
add 750cc of tomato sauce (Not canned pelati but liquid sauce); then add
salt, pepper, oregano, basil. Cook for only 5 minutes, because it will cook
in the oven.
Now, take a baking pan, put inside your tomato sauce and, inside it, the
pieces of filled zucchini. Season zucchini with few olive oil, salt and
pepper.
Put in the oven for 1,10 hours. The last 15 minutes increase temperature
bringing oven to 240°C (450F). Zucchinis are ready when they are lightly
brown on the surface and when tomato sauce is dark , dense and not liquid.
Note: Every 15-20 minutes turn zucchinis with a spoon.

Serve in a tray with the tomato sauce over.
Side dish: I suggest Duchess potatoes.

Looks and sounds great. Thanks Pandora. Just one question, here in
Australia what we call tomato sauce is what Americans call Ketchup - is that
what you mean. We also have Tomato Paste which is much thicker than the
sauce.

No! I don't mean ketchup or tomato paste. I mean a raw tomato sauce like
this:

we call it "passata di pomodoro".
How do you call it?
Cheers and thank you

I'm not sure what it would be in Australia. Bronwyn made it and I think
she's from Australia, hopefully she's reading this and can help here!

Well, I try to explain more simply. If you put "pelati tomatoes" in a food
processor, you will obtain a Passata di Pomodoro, the thing you need for
this recipe.
Tell me if you understand what I said.

HI Jen,
Its better if you make your own tomato sauce base for this recipe.
Dead simple.
Nice ripe or over ripe tomatoes, skinned, chopped into saucepan (say,
4-6). Add splash olly oil, and 1/2C water; simmer with lid on for 20
min. Then added 1 chopped onion, finely ch. stalk celery, stick of
carrot, garlic clove and simmer with lid off for 30 min or so until it
is nicely reduced. Add seasonings, cool a little and blitz in food
proc. or blender. Add parsley or basil if desired.

Hi Jen - I see that Bronwyn has given instructions on making a sauce in
another post, but just to let you know that you can buy passata in some
supermarkets - I've seen it in a large glass bottle. Basically, though,
it is just like tomato puree. What I've done when I've needed it, as
Pandora says in another post, is just to take canned tomatoes and puree
them with the stick blender.

I like to take a big can of whole tomatoes and put them in the blender.
After pureeing for a bit, I pour it through a sieve to get the seeds
out. You end up with liquidy tomato goodness.
