Method
Wash the zucchini1, cut lengthwise in half along the long direction, and carefully scoop out the centers with a spoon; cut the zucchini flesh into 1–2 cm cubes; preheat the oven to 190 °C; prepare a baking dish about 20x30 cm, grease with a light layer of oil.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil, add onion3 and sauté until translucent about 3 minutes; add garlic7 and sauté another 30 seconds, stirring.
Add ground2 meat and the zucchini1 flesh to the skillet, sauté over medium heat 7–8 minutes until brown and golden, stirring occasionally; salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the filling into the zucchini1 boats and place them tightly in the baking dish; place tomato4 slices on top of each boat, then add sour6 cream and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake in the oven at 190 °C, uncovered, about 30 minutes; the top will turn golden and the cheese will melt; the filling will be cooked and juices will thicken.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving; serve warm, with sour6 cream from the dish if desired.
Tips
- Why it works
- Лук обжаривай до полупрозрачности, чтобы он отдал влагу и не сделал фарш водянистым. Чеснок добавляй в конце, чтобы не сгорел и не горчил.
- Substitutions
- За сметану возьми йогурт 2.5% — 30 г, но сметана даст более насыщенный вкус. Вместо твёрдого сыра подойдёт тертый сычужный — 30 г.
- Common mistakes
- Если фарш внутри сырой или кабачки мягкие, значит, недожарил — проверяй зубчиком ножа через 25 минут.
- Storing and reheating
- Хранится 2 дня в холодильнике, разогревай в микроволновке 2 минуты под крышкой. Не замораживай — кабачки размякнут.
- Serve with
- Подавай с отварным картофелем или гречкой, чтобы сбалансировать блюдо углеводами.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
