Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : 2send Summer

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 zucchini; trimmed -- halved lengthwise

1 onion -- peeled, chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove -- peeled, crushed

1 teaspoon black mustard seeds

1/4 cup tomato puree

7 ounces bulgur wheat

2 cups water

1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon powder

1 tablespoon dried dill

1 teaspoon yellow mustard powder

salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 ounces vegetarian goat's cheddar

or firm soya cheese, grated

 

1. Steam the zucchini or courgettes for 8 minutes, then leave to cool. Once

cool, remove the inner flesh, taking care not to damage the outer skin, and set

both skin and flesh aside.

 

2. In a saucepan, saute the onion in the olive oil until transparent. Add the

garlic and mustard seeds and continue to fry for a few minutes, stirring

frequently. Mix in the bulgar wheat and 3 tbsp of the tomato puree and continue

to stir until all the oil has been absorbed. Then pour on the water, vegetable

bouillon, dill, mustard powder, the reserved inner flesh from the zucchini or

courgettes, salt and pepper and simmer for a further 15 minutes.

 

3. Once the bulgar is soft and all the water has been absorbed, add half of the

grated cheese and mix together. Stuff the zucchini or courgette hollows with the

grain mixture, sprinkling the remaining cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven

at 375F for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
