Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini
  • 1 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 lb. chorizo
  • 2 medium vine ripened tomatoes chopped
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1/2 red pepper chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoons oregano
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 c. breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scrape out the flesh of the zucchini so that they look like boats. Arrange the zucchini boats in a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Chop the middle part of the zucchini and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring frequently, until the sausage is beginning to brown. This took about 6 minutes.
  • Add in the tomatoes, onion, pepper, garlic, and chopped zucchini flesh. Add in the oregano then season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook until the vegetables have softened, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon the mixture into the zucchini boats so that they are full. Save any extra filling to use later.
  • In a small bowl combine the Parmesan, mozzarella, and breadcrumbs. Mix well then spoon on top of the mixture in the zucchini boats.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the zucchini is tender.
