- Learn to cook these delicious vegetarian stuffed zucchini boats. We add chopped mushrooms, red bell pepper and cooked rice, which give a stuffing amazingly close to meat! Check out our video here!
Ingredients for 3-4 people:
3 zucchinis
3-4 small onions, chopped
800 gr / 30 oz white mushrooms, chopped
1 red bell pepper
3 large cloves of garlic
1 tbsp cumin, powdered
1 tbsp oregano, dried
1 tbsp basil, dried
2 dl / 0.7 cups cooked rice (could be basmati)
2-3 tbsp neutral tasting oil (for frying)
salt & pepper
120 gr / 4 oz parmesan cheese, grated (2/3 for filling ; 1/3 for garnish)
120 gr / 4 oz cheddar cheese, grated (2/3 for filling ; 1/3 for garnish)
Tomato sauce:
1 can / 400 gr / 14 oz peeled tomatoes
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp oregano, dried
1 clove of garlic, crushed
Written recipe:
- Cut zucchinis in half lengthwise
- Scoop out the zucchini flesh with a spoon. Be careful not to make holes in the skins.
- Chop up the zucchini flesh into smaller pieces, salt the flesh and reserve it in a sieve for the water to drain off.
- Salt the zucchini skins/boats to remove excess water and leave for as long as possible.
- In a pan in neutral oil, fry off chopped red onions until translucent.
- Then add chopped mushrooms to the pan. Let water evaporate.
- In the meantime: remove the extracted water from zucchini skins using kitchen paper.
- Now add the zucchini flesh to the pan along with chopped red bell pepper. Let water evaporate totally from the pan.
- Add garlic directly onto the pan and let it heat up to release its flavor/.
- Add cumin also directly onto the pan. And then mix it all well.
- Add dried oregano, dried basil and cooked rice. Salt and pepper.
- in a bowl to the side: add canned, peeled tomatoes together with salt, pepper, sugar, balsamic vinegar, dried oregano and garlic. Mash it all up with the backside of a spoon to get more homogenous sauce. Set aside.
- Let the filling from the pan cool down in bowl(s) and thereafter add eggs to it. Add cheeses and mix well.
- Spread tomato sauce in an oven tray and place the zucchini skins on top and fill each skin/boat with stuffing/filling.
- sprinkle Parmesan and cheddar cheese onto top of each zucchini boat.
- Bake in oven for 35-40 minutes at 390 deg. F.
- After cooking, leave the boats to “set” for 15 minutes and then serve with tomato sauce and fresh basil on top. Enjoy!

Zucchine like this are great, usually I find that immediately prior to stuffing a quick sear of the "boats" in a very hot iron skillet, cut side down, adds an extra flavor dimension by giving some brown to the squash edges. It doesn't really cook them but they won't brown in the oven because of all the filling.
Amazing idea! Thanks for sharing the tip - we will definitely try that when cooking zucchini boats next time! 👍👍👍
Love this recipe. I’ve made it several times but without the rice. It’s wonderful. Thank you!
Thanks so much - I am so happy to hear it 😊
Hi, I just found this recipe. Seeing that you have made this before how much mushrooms and rice did you use? Thanks.
It took 3 hours from beginning to end but it was well worth it. These were very pretty and tasted great! Good enough to serve to company.
Amazing! So happy to hear that the recipe worked well for you - also for serving up for company. That can be important too 😊
I started making it following the recipe at 4:15pm. It went in the oven at nearly 6pm and had to cool until 7pm. Delicious! Be sure to scrape out plenty of zucchini so the red sauce doesn't get watery. I skipped the egg and cheese inside. It really needs a salad and French bread to feel satiated. Nice video, thank you!
Thanks for your feedback! Happy to hear you enjoyed the meal! 👍😊
Cannot wait to try! I gave 3 more zucchinis out of the garden. No zuchini going to waste this year! Amazing!
Sounds amazing! And of course no zucchinis should go to waste! ;) Have a great day!
@@mtbcookingen9102 This was amazing!! 💗 We decided to skip the rice and used the egg and breadcrumb like the other recipe.
@@t_nels Happy to hear! And great that you were creative and mixed the two recipes ;) Have a nice day!
This looks so good!
My mother doesn't eat meat so I've been looking for something to make her.
This looks perfect.
Thank you.

Looks good minus the egg.
Thanks! You could try to leave out the egg if you aren’t a fan. 😊
Awesome 👏
Thanks 😉
Wow damn good

I liked the video but could not find the actual recipe ingredients. Looked high and low but could not find it. Probably my bad. Please tell me where the recipe is located? Thank you.
Hi, Thanks for your feedback! You can find all the ingredients below the video in the text box that you can expand. Please let me know if you cannot find it and I will explain more thoroughly 😊
Can’t wait to make but why do you add the eggs for protein???
Great! The eggs are mainly there to help the filling ‘come together’. But they do add proteins and make the boats more filling as well 😊
Maybe for rice you could use bread crumbs
Yea for sure! 👍😊
What would you substitute for the rice?
You could also add cooked wheat kernels / bulgur / couscous. Or Alternatively some breadcrumbs 😊
Cauliflower rice would be good!
How can I get a print copy of this recipe?
Hi Deborah, as you know we sent you the written recipe on your request and all the directions are now also added as text below the video 😊
@@mtbcookingen9102 Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to making this tonight for dinner.
What can be used in substitute of an egg?
Flax and water mix works for egg so I'm going to try it
Do you cover your casserole dish in the oven
No I didn’t, but it’s always a good option if you fear they will burn. My advise is to keep an eye on them 😊
MTB Cooking (EN) I made this today, and it was soooo good
Amazing!
Is that vegan cheese??? If not its not vegan, and Egg is not vegan 🤪🤪
Nope and the dish is vegetarian not vegan 😉
🤔
Ah no, I don’t eat eggs
That’s a shame 😞 Hopefully you can find a substitute for this recipe to give it a try!
