No Fat Stuffed Zucchini
Ingredients:
-2 medium size zucchini
-1 small red onion
-3 oz canned beans
-3 oz tomato sauce
-your favourite spices
Preparation:
Cut the zucchini in halves lengthwise. Using a melon baller, a teaspoon or a knife, carve the zucchini making thin zucchini boats. Put what you have carved out into a food processor and the boats on a nonstick food placque and start cooking them (microwave or oven: both work pretty good).
Put the onion, the beans, the spices and the tomato sauce in the blender as well. Pure everything. When the zucchini boats start to be tender, put the mix in and cook for another 15 minutes, until everything is well roasted.Take out and enjoy!
This is a light and quick recipe that makes it easier to enjoy vegetables. You can modify the stuffing as much as you like, adding carrots, celery, garlic or what you like.
Alternatively, you can also use red or yellow peppers and even eggplants to do a similar, as tasty dish. I hope you like it!

This might add a little fat but a Tbs of parmesan cheese might go good with it too.
PS What kind of beans. Will red kidney beans or chickpeas work?
05.08.06 | Tax commented: Any kind of cooked beans will work. And the recipe holds itself together even without the beans if you do not like them!
Definitely the permisan will add taste and texture! Really good idea! Either grated on top for a cruncy crust or mixed into the mixture for added flavour.
