Stuffed Zuchini

First the breadcrumbs, and yes you can use store bought ones but homeade breadcrumbs for stuffing purposes is so easy it's criminal. If you have a mini-food processor (or regular).

Take a piece of old italian bread or fresh I guess but the idea is to not throw anything away. If it's stale bread it's ok. Chunk it, rip it up and put it in the processor. Process it.

Add grated parmesean cheese to every 3-4 slices of bread you use. Also add parsley, italian seasoning, salt, pepper and a touch of olive oil.

Voila! Homeade breadcrumbs.

Now, the zukes. Hull the zukes down the middle. Like making boats. Take the inside part that you removed, chop it finely. Then you'll need a small onion or half a large one. Chop it finely. Next a clove of garlic, also chop it finely. Sautee (with olive oil) all these together until they are soft. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cool add that mix to the breadcrumbs. That is your filling. You can fill that mixture into the zuke boats you made, pack it in. Sprinkle a bit of parmesean cheese on the top and bake for about 20 minutes.

That is stuffed Zuchini. Very similar to stuffed mushrooms. Mangia.
