ZUCCHINI BOATS.

[theweaselking]

I have made ZUCCHINI BOATS.

This is a new thing that apparently EVERYONE BUT ME KNOWS ABOUT.

So. You need zucchini, and stuff to put in the zucchini. The recipe I stoleused uses halved grape tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and garlic.

So!

Slice your zucchini in half lengthwise. Take a vegetable peeler to the back side to flatten it so it will lie flat in the cookie sheet. What cookie sheet? Why the one, lined with foil, that you will be putting your zucchini halves on!

Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Make sure you get them all - you're really going to gut this, because otherwise you'll have zucchini seeds in your final product. GUESS WHAT I DID

Drizzle the halves with olive oil, smear with crushed garlic, add salt and pepper.

Halve grape tomatoes and toss 'em in the halved zucchini, leaving space.

Throw the whole thing in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Waited your 30 minutes? Okay, good. Pull out the zucchini and drop in diced mozzarella. Change the setting on the oven to broil: put it back in under the broiler, until the cheese is bubbling and browning.

Pull the boats out, drizzle with olive oil, and add parmesan cheese.

DEVOUR.

huh, that is a quite different version of zucchini boats than what I had as a kid. Mine started the same way, but once you have removed the seeds and stuff you drop it in a body of water and watch it float away.

HAH!

That's like the old poultry recipe, to eat the Coot.

Is there a little ferret community on LJ I'm just finding out about?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

... I have no idea?

I have no ferrets. I have never had ferrets. I don't really know anyone who keeps or likes ferrets, any more. theferrett is a misogynist tool and has been for the last decade, probably longer but I've only seen him be a misogynist tool for ~10 "they're not rapists, they're ENTHUSIASTS" years.

Where do ferrets come into this?

Hmm.

I made something similar today, because there was no other food available.

Halve the zucchinis, scrape out seeds and some of the pulp. Fill with halved tomatoes, add salt and some olive oil.
Put scraped-out stuff into a pan, add salt/pepper/olive oil/garlic/basil, bring to a boil and mush it.
Put filled zucchini halves on the barbecue, pour the hot mush over (don't waste any!).
Wait. Eat.
Notice that it would've been better with some cheese on top. And maybe a slice of bacon.

My mom made these all the time! Variants are olive-oil vegeterian version (bits of zucchini mixed with lightly-cooked rice and other stuff to taste) or ground beef and other stuff to taste. That latter is especially tasty with yogurt.

I made them again, omitted the garlic, and stuffed them with italian sausage and minced onion.

( I would have included tomatoes but SOMEONE ate ALL THE TOMATOES)

MMMMM DELICIOUS.
