Ingredients

  • 200 gr fresh breadcrumbs

  • 150 gr grated pecorino or parmigiano

  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped or minced

  • 4–5 marjoram or thyme leaves leaves

  • 4–5 oregano leaves

  • 1–2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

  • salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 zucchini (courgettes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Mix together the breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, herbs and olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

  3. Cut the zucchini in half lengthways. Using a spoon or a paring knife, scoop out some of the flesh, then fill the zucchini shells with the breadcrumb mixture. Place on the prepared tray, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown.

Ps don’t discard the zucchini fresh. Stir fry in olive oil, add a few anchovies, chillie and garlic and toss some pasta through it. Yum!
