Baked Stuffed Zucchini
4 zucchini, 1/2 pound each
2 tablespoons margarine
2 scallions, chopped
1/2 pound mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup soft bread crumbs
4 eggs
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and black pepper, to taste
Scrub zucchini and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop
out and reserve pulp, leaving shells 1/4 inch thick.
Drop shells into boiling water and boil for 5 minutes.
Chop pulp and saute in margarine. Add scallion
and mushrooms; saute 3 minutes longer. Add nuts
and remove from heat. Beat eggs with parsley, basil,
salt and pepper to taste. Add egg mixture and fresh
bread crumbs to pulp mixture. Spoon into zucchini
shells which have been drained. Top with grated
cheese. Use your choice of cheese; Parmesan is
only one suggestion. Place into a baking dish which
has been greased with margarine. Add 1/2 inch of
water and bake, uncovered, in preheated 350F
oven for about 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes,
then serve.
