I love the nutty addition to the zucchini! I adore your recipes and your veggie blog is a wonderful read. Care to join a veggie food-fight hosted by me and shesimmers.com and submit a fennel recipe? More details: http://www.bouchonfor2.com/beet-n-squash-you/

Hi JoLynn,
Thank you for your nice comment. I’d like to take credit for the idea…but I have seen them done like this before…especially if your zucchini has grown to be too big. It’s a great way to use it…cut them in thick rounds, hollow out the center part where the seeds are and then fill the centers. We were really happy with them this way, more so than as the long boats.

Yes…funny about the marrow thing…I do believe it is especially for the large ones, and the smaller ones are courgettes…a yummy veggie no matter what you call it They were especially nice with the nut filling.

Hi Anjas,
Thank you for your comment…
Yes, these were very tasty..and I agree with you, just about any stuffed veggie would taste good with the filling. I think perhaps with cabbage I;d want a sauce…like a tom. sauce…but perhaps that’s just what I’m used to.
Hope you give these a try and enjoy.

I didn’t realize zucchini was called marrow in England! Does that just apply to the big ones? Is it used along-side courgette? So many questions… but the recipe looks lovely!

That looks absolutely delicious. I guess with that kind of stuffing I’d eat almost any vegetable. Can imagine that well in bell peppers too. Or even wrapped in blanched savoy cabbage leaves……

Hi Blueheart,
Thank you for your comment.
Funny, I’m just making a nice raw zucchini recipe now…
They’re great any way… cooked, raw, as soup, salad stuffed…whatever.
We enjoyed this very much, and was especially nice with the balsamic vinegar along side.Hope you give it a try and enjoy.

Hi Courtney,
Thank you for your comment. I usually do cut the zucchini lengthwise, and hollow them out and then fill as long boats, but for us it’s “too much zucchini, and the filling gets dried out. This was the first time that I had cut them and filled them in this shape and we were really pleased with them, and the nut filling was very tasty.The balsamic sauce was nice with them also.
I hope you give them a try this way-it’s fun
