- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2019
- Here you get a great recipe for zucchini boats with a spiced-up ground beef and vegetable stuffing. We use the zucchini meat as part of the stuffing in order to not waste such a great ingredient.
Ingredients for 4 persons:
4 zucchinis
1/2 kg / 1 pound of ground beef
2 small or 1 large onion
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp of dry basilic
2 tsp ground cumin
10cherry tomatoes, chopped up finely
2 eggs
3 tbsp breadcrumbs
200 gr. / 7 oz yellow cheddar, shredded
150 gr. / 5 oz. parmesan cheese, shredded
salt & pepper
For the tomato sauce:
1 can / 14,5 oz. whole peeled tomatoes
1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 cloves of garlic, minced
salt & pepper
a pinch of sugar
- Half each zucchini and scoop out the flesh of each one.
- Chop up the flesh into smaller bits.
- Fry minced beef in neutral oil at medium to high heat until most water has evaporated.
- Add chopped onions and fry until transluscent.
- Add chopped cherry tomatoes and zucchini flesh to the pan and let water evaporate.
- Add spices and garlic to the pan and season to your liking.
- Remove the filling and transfer to two bowls to cool off slightly (20 minutes or so).
- In a clean bowl: mix can of tomatoes with garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper until almost homogenous. Mash the omatoes a bit.
- Add grated cheddar and parmesan cheese and eggs to the filling. Mix well.
- Add the tomato sauce to a rectangular lasagna dish and place zucchini boats on top.
- Fill each boat with the filling and top with more cheese for garnish.
- Cook in the oven 40 minutes at 200 deg. C / 390 deg. F
- Let the zucchini boats cool off slightly (15 min or so) before serving with tomato sauce and fx. cooked rice, a good loaf of bread or pasta!
Enjoy :-)

Caramelize the onions first, then brown the beef with them, set them aside and cook the zucchini until you have cooked out the water. Add to the meat & onion. Add tomatoes. Are you seeing a pattern? You cannot caramelize anything if it is wet. So take it in steps
I absolutely loved this recipe. I have more zucchini than I know what to do with from my garden. I loved this so much, this is the second time this week that I am making this. Very easy. Simple ingredients, and very healthy. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Thanks so much for leaving a comment - it means a lot to me! I am so happy to hear that the recipe has become a go-to for you - both to use up the zucchinis and for a healthy meal 😊
This recipe is amazing. I made a slight adjustment. Used a 28oz can of whole Italian Plum tomatoes with Basil and used 2 of those tomatoes in place of the cherry tomatoes. Made extra sauce which was needed with extra tomatoes. Just added a little more balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt & pepper to accommodate extra tomatoes. Also remember the pinch of sugar, not on the recipe but she mentions it and adds it in the video.
Thanks a lot for your comments and tips and for pointing out the sugar, which is very important! Have a good one and see ya next time 😊
Good call on making extra sauce!
This is an excellent recipe. My wife and I made this tonight. We did not change a thing, This was the whole meal, this time. In the future we would add a side salad and maybe some garlic bread. Thanks so much for making this available to all of us.
Amazing to hear! Thanks for the feedback and see you next time! 👍☺️
Going to make this tomorrow but with squash, lots growing in the garden. Thank you for the recipe :D
Easy to follow video , thanks for sharing ❤ yummy recipe
Thanks so much for your comment! It makes us very happy 😍👍
Nice dish, definitely going to add this to the books. I woukd suggest lightly salting the Zucchini scrapings, in order to draw out all the excess water before adding to the beef.
Thanks for the comment and for the tip! :-)
It's kind of like a zucchini cabbage roll--brilliant! I have a bunch of zucchinis and ground pork, so this is just what I needed! Thank you!
Amazing! That’s not the worst ingredients to have lying around 😉
Thanks for sharing this tutorial. I'm going to try this recipe. I'm going to add mushrooms, bell peppers and carrots for even more veggies.
Lovely! We just made a vegetarian version with mushroom, red bell pepper and rice - it's gonna be delish! ;-)
This was SOOOOO good! We used turkey instead of beef and it was literally one of the best things I’ve ever made! Thank you for the recipe!!!
Thank you so much for the comment! We are so happy to hear you liked it that much (we do too... ;) )
Made this a couple of days ago and had an “Oh Wow!” moment when I tasted the final product. So good! It’s truly a great recipe/dish. Thanks!
Thanks so much for your feedback. It is highly appreciated :-) Have a good one and see you next time!
Nice! A touch of crumbled bacon on top might be wickedly delish!
Yes for sure ! A crispy and smoky twist - we love it!
I love wicked bacon...ever baked it in the oven with brown sugar, the thick peppered kind, slap ya mama good!!
This is perfect. I have been looking for recipes to make and freeze. I'm retired and dont want to cook every day. Healthy too zucchini instead of noodles. Great idea.
Yes; looks keto friendly! 😋
We are happy be able to inspire your everyday cooking - good continuation in the kitchen ;-)
I too cook for one and am wondering....did you cook the whole zucchini boat and freeze or did you just freeze the filling. Worried the Zucchini will be mushy once frozen.
Another 8 boats coming up! Best dish ever! 💘💗💞
Thanks so much! We totally agree :-)
Made this tonight and the whole family LOVED IT! 💗😋
Amazing! We’re so happy to hear it! 🤩
We are blessed with zucs in the garden. Going to cook this tonight. Thanks for the video!!
Amazing! Hope they turned out great ;)
Best zucchini boat recipe I have seen. Well done. I will give this a try for sure.
Thanks a lot for the nice words! We're so happy to hear that you'll give it a try! :-)
I’m definitely going to make your Zucchini Boats. I was a little surprised by the Cheddar Cheese, I’ve always used Mozzarella and Parmesan. But, I really love Cheddar and it really looks delicious! Thank you very much for sharing your recipe. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It really is! Give it a try and enjoy! ;)
FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We think so too! :) Thanks for watching!
Sounds fantastic. Must give it a try. Definitely will try mushrooms in it as another subscriber mentioned. I’m thinking garlic toast points served on the side would be a good addition as well.
Amazing idea with garlic toast ! 🧄👍😍
Thank you for your wonderful recipe. My house is full of the smells of cooking. God Bless you and your family!
Thank you for your comment! We are so happy to be able to inspire :-) Best regards, MTB Cooking

They really are amazing summer food, just perfect for this warm time of year! Enjoy and see you next time! 👍😉
I have made stuffed zukes with ground beef but, I had not considered adding egg to bind all the ingredients..great tip! You can never have too much cheese...I live in WI where cheese rules!! Thank you for this recipe.
Thanks so much for your comment! We're happy to hear you can use our tips 😉 Love cheese as well! 😋
We used to make these (my wife did) all the time, great at picnics
Amazing memory to have - thanks for sharing
I am so loving this recipe 👍😋. trying this tonight for dinner
Thanks a lot for your comment! We really adore this dish as well, and I actually have a batch cooking in the oven as we speak ;-)
I’m a seasoned chef and honestly this is the first time I’ve see these. I’m coming to make these. I can see using chicken or shrimp too. Maybe even like a crab cake mixture
Great ideas! We’re happy you like the recipe 👍😊
Hi Jimmy, I am also a seasoned cook being Italian from a big Italian family all my grandparents were from Italy, I was 7 or 8 years old making homemade ravioli with my mom and my gramma but the best thing to do with the ground beef is to make sure you drain it really well to get rid of any fat and after you scoop out the flesh of the zucchini and chop it up put in a strainer or colander and put that on top of a bowl and let it weep out and squeeze out as much water from the zucchini as possible that will make for a less mushy filling🥒🍆🍅🌶🥒🍷🍴😉
@@nancymanuel8536 Nancy, that sounds good too! Being from Louisiana that crabcake and shrimp got my attention!! Maybe if you had some crawfish ettoufe made it could be the topper, yum yum, I've done made myself hungry again looking at these gorgeously prepared boats , didn't you just love that sauce he made! I love sauces! Do you have a cooking page also?
So good. I used Ground turkey instead of Ground beef was phenomenal with my garden zucchini. Thank you
This looks real good, I want to make this soon. Thank you.
Great to hear! Enjoy 🤩
This looks delicious. I do believe this will be on the menu in the next few days. 🍽️
Amazing! Thanks a lot for the words. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the result :-)
Just tried this and it was really good! Thank you!
Thanks for your feedback! We’re happy to hear it! 😊😊
I live in new mexico we add green chili to everything. I think its going to be perfect.
Great idea!
Looks delicious!! I’m going to try these this weekend:)
Glad to hear it, enjoy! 👍😊
I like how I can stuff a zucchini with almost any left over. A piece or sausage and toast add cream, butter, practically anything! I call it cabinet. I use what I have and my daughter asks for it every week! LOL
What a nice dish to make I ❤Zucchini...
It's so good! :-)
What a nice result, looks wonderful!
It really is so good 👍😉 Thanks a lot!
I just finished eating this. It's so good. I have Xtra meat so I made one stuffed pepper too. I didn't put bread crumbs, didn't need that. Definitely would make this again. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting - we really appreciate it 😊😊

I'd like to do this with seafood dressing,,,or with a sausage pineapple dressing,,,,,,,or with small chunks of pork and pineapple,,,
Sounds exotic and actually quite good. We would not be afraid of giving that at try! :-)
I do the same thing.. but I make pizza boats with mine...I stuff with red onion .. bell peppers.. pepperoni.. sweet Italian sausage.. mushroom.. black olives.. a good pizza sauce .. a sprinkle of oregano....I like to put the sauce over the veggies and meat in my boats... I have seen people put the sauce in first ... what ever you like doing ...then I put fresh mozzarella cheese on top...the fresher the better... I like using the mini mozzarella balls .. they are just the right size... I kinda flatten out with my fingers and put them on top....then I bake them at 375 till cheese starts to brown and the boats are tender... pull them out let them sit for a few minutes and BAM... pizza boats!!!!! A healthier sub for pizza dough and they taste amazing ...Oh one more thing... and they didn’t do it in the video... I put just a little salt and pepper on the zucchini before I put toppings and sauce...also if the are huge zucchini.. rub a little olive oil on the outside of them after you slice and scoop them out and put salt on the outside as well... also if you want more tender veggies.. you can cook the bell peppers and onions a little before you put them in the boats ...but I like them kinda crips like on a good supreme pizza... but to each his own... I hope you guys try it.. I love them

I made these this evening using ground chicken. Very Good. I'll make them again. Great video.
Great idea with chicken. That's what so perfect about the recipe - anything goes ;)
This dish looks really good. We will be making it.
You should! Alone the smell that comes from the oven while they bake is worth the efforts ;-)
The way she says basil... I love it ☺☺☺
Haha thanks! ;-)
It was absolutely delicious, and we loved it. Making it again today.
Glad to hear it! Thanks a lot for your feedback 👍🤩
Trying this tonight with veggie crumbles instead..this looks great!!
That can be done as well. We actually just made a version using mushrooms instead of ground beef, which is also really nice! You can check it out on our channel! 👍😍
Just made it, with a few modifications, in my Ninja Grill. Skipped the egg, the parmesan and the tomato sauce cuz I hate those, and the bread crumbs b/c I'm gluten-free, used a full 400g mozarella block, added pulled pork that I got tired of, set the grill at 370°F for 30 min, covered them with foil. OMG YUMM!!!
Looks very good. Thank you for sharing. “Outdoors and Country Living”.

I made zucchini boats-not like yours though-the other day. Because I have a gas oven, I don’t cook them on such a high temperature nor do I leave them in the oven that long. The next time I fix them, I am going to try your recipe. They looked delicious.
Thanks so much - we hope you'll like this recipe as much as we do! 😊
Bout to try this💯🍺

Minute white rice in the meat just a small 👌 amount

Thanks for your comment! Amazing that you can pick the squash yourself 😉 I wouldn’t freeze them though. But I guess it can be tried out! Enjoy! 😍
Carolyn Jordan God always gets a capital G.
Just tried this, but using a portion of my beef chilli, out of the freezer, just cooked the courgette meat in a pan until it was soft, stirred in the cooked chilli mix and filled the courgettes, grated cheese on top, delicious.
That sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing this great tip! 😊
Sounds good 👍 👌 😋
It is ;)
awsome
We think so too! Thanks for watching 😊
