Vegetarians need not subsist on potato salad and coleslaw alone at cookouts, as this recipe from "Veggie Life" columnist Deborah Geering illustrated -- deliciously.
Hands on time: 15 minutes Total time: 25 minutes Serves: 4
Ingredients:
-
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
4 ounces goat cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 tablespoon each chopped fresh basil and thyme
4 small zucchini, halved lengthwise
2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
Instructions:
Prepare a medium fire in the grill. In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, cheese, garlic, bread crumbs, pine nuts, basil and thyme. Set aside. Using a spoon, scoop out a trough down the center of each zucchini half. Brush lightly with oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, cut side down, until grill marks form, about 5 minutes; turn and grill lightly on other side. Remove from grill. Stuff each zucchini half with 1/8 of filling. Wrap in foil; return to grill. Cook about 15 minutes, until zucchini is soft and filling is warm.
