Stuffed Zucchini - Mum's recipe

Stuffed Zucchini

Ingredients
4 zucchini (medium to large)
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1 onion
Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper


Method
Cut the zucchini in half (lengthwise)
Scoop them out and cut the filling into very small pieces
Satee a diced onion in a little olive oil (I just put the onion in a pan on a medium fire without any oil until it turns transparent)
Add the ground beef
Then add the zucchini filling and cook until the filling start to melt
Add salt and pepper
When done turn off the fire
Add a beaten egg and the parmesan cheese

Place the zucchini in a baking dish (you can put them on a bed of onions and even roast potatoes with them)
Add a little water and cover the zucchini with parmesan cheese.

Bake in 350 degrees oven for about one to one and a half hours




Note
If you just want the filling, instead of scooping the zucchini, just shred them in a food processor
