Another healthy Thanksgiving Giving veggie idea :)
These are small, intensely delicious baby Zucchinis we've been enjoying since the summer! This post has been in my files for long enough and I thought I'd share another really easy and healthy recipe with y'all
1 pack of Baby or Fingerling Zukes (about 24)
Wash and just cut the small ridged top off
DO not cut the bottom stems
Make an x cut on the top of the zucchini and slit down to half way or a little less
You need a marinade to stuff the slits with - this depends entirely your creativity - you could do a bunch of things and give it an Italian, Asian, Middle Easter or Indian flavor - I went Asian with this one -
For this you will need -
2tbsp roasted peanuts - ground fine
1 tbsp Sczhewan Sauce
1 tbsp Sirarcha Sauce
1/2 tsp crush thai basil
whip it all together gently ensuring a thickish sauce
Pour generously into the slits and press together
Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and spray
Spray with Pam olive oil over the zucchinis before putting in the oven
Broil for 15 minutes (or bake for 10 minutes at 425 F)
Enjoy with noodles, pasta or as a starter :)

Love 'em. They look cute, but that stuffing's nicely spiced up!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea Priya..u always come up with amazing recipes..I am gonna try this one with some different kinda stuffing..
ReplyDeleteI love peanut stuffed veggies but with zucchini have never tried. That surely is a very nice one.
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe Dear.Stuffed Zucchini luks yumm and fantastic.Luv it
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful dish Priya - although unfortunately I've never seen baby zucchinis for sale here :( I guess I could do a similar thing with full size ones, although the taste wouldn't be so delicious, and they wouldn't be such a handy size either :D
