This Zucchini Stuffed with Tuna is one of my favorite family meals. I love the simplicity of using zucchini boats as the vessels for this delicious tuna and zucchini filling. Serve this with a crisp green salad or some garlic bread.
To prepare this dish, start by cutting zucchini in half, and hollowing out the shells. Chop up zucchini pulp and set aside. Mix pulp, tuna, bread crumbs, mozzarella, egg, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and salt together in a bowl. Fill zucchini shells with the tuna filling and place on a waxed lined cookie sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and cook in the preheated oven until cooked through.
To make my Zucchini Stuffed with Tuna, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat the oven to 350 °F. Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper.
Cut 4 medium zucchini in half lengthwise. Hollow out the zucchini halves. Cut in half again lengthwise. Chop ¾ cup of the zucchini pulp and set aside in a large bowl.
In the large bowl, combine zucchini pulp with 5 ounces of flaked tuna, 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs, ¾ cup of chopped fresh mozzarella, 1 slightly beaten egg, 4 tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and ½ a teaspoon chopped parsley and season with ½ a teaspoon of salt.
Place the zucchini quarters cut side up on the baking sheet. Fill each boat with the tuna filling. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake the zucchini in the oven for 30 minutes.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with extra fresh chopped parsley.
