Zucchini Boats

Packed with vitamins, this recipe is both healthy and tasty. It looks so good that your kids will love it at first sight – they won’t even notice all those vegetables inside.

You will need:

• 3 medium zucchini
• 2 strips bacon
• 1/2 onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 vine-ripened tomatoes
• 2 cups fresh corn kernels
• 2 small zucchini
• Parmesan
• salt and pepper

Cook the zucchini “boats” in salted boiled water over medium heat until they soften up a bit – around 3 minutes. Remove and cool. Using a small spoon gently hollow out the tendered zucchini, chop the insides and put aside. For the filling you will need a heavy saute pan. Chop the 2 small sized zucchini into small cubes. Preheat it over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and stir for 5 minutes than remove almost all the bacon onto a paper leaving just around 2 spoons of it in the pan. Add the onion and stir till translucent, add the  reserved zucchini insides and the cubes from the smaller ones. Add the sliced garlic, tomato and corn. Cook and stir until the zucchini are soft – around 5 minutes. Add the bacon you previously removed. Put the filling into the zucchini “boats” and cover with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 400F until the Parmesan turns golden. Serve.
