Stuffed Zucchini

Steps

• 
  
  

  1. Wash the zucchini and cut off the tails. Cut vegetables into 5 cm thick rings. Using a coffee spoon, remove the core, leaving the bottom and sides 1 cm thick. As a result, you should get zucchini cups, as I have in the photo. Let's shift our blanks in a pan with boiling water. Blanch vegetables on a low heat for 2-3 minutes, after that get them from hot water.

  3. Put the ground meat in a frying pan with pre-heated vegetable oil. Stir periodically and fry the chicken fillet on a medium heat for about 3 minutes so that the meat whitens.

  12. Bake zucchini stuffed with vegetables in the oven for 20 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. During this time, vegetables will be fully cooked, and cheese will melt and redden.
