Stuffed round zucchini are fiery, spicy and fun to eat.
Ingredients
- 800 g round zucchini (4 zucchinis)
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 4 pinches of spicy chili powder
- 1 onion, sliced
- ½ tbs olive oil
- 450 g beef, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground red pepper
- ½ tsp granulated garlic
- ¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp cumin
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 250 g pinto beans
- 4 tbs Swiss cheese, coarsely grated
Directions
1.
Cut a little hat off the top of each round zucchini, and carve the inside using a small sharp-edged spoon, discarding the flesh.
2.
Put the zucchini shells and hats in a greased gratin dish, sprinkle with olive oil and spicy chili powder. Bake in the oven at 180°C for 20 - 25 minutes, until cooked al dente: shells should be tender, but still hold their shape.
3.
Meanwhile, sauté the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes. Add minced meat and spices, continue to sauté, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
4.
Add pinto (red) beans, and a little water, stir and simmer gently for 15 minutes until the water evaporates.
