Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven at 200°C (or 392°F).
- 2
Shred the onion and crush the garlic to a pulp.
- 3
Cut the zucchini in half and scoop out the inside with a spoon. Cut the insides in small pieces!
- 4
Spread some olive oil on the outside off the zucchini halves.
- 5
Put olive oil in a hot pan and add the minced meat.
- 6
Add part of the garlic and season to taste. I seasoned with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and a spice mix containing (ground) paprika, coriander, curcuma, fenegriq, chilli powder, ginger, cumin, cardemom and fennel seeds.
- 7
When half of the minced meat is ready, add the shredded onion and the rest of the garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes.
- 8
Add the zucchini insides, mix and cook for about 3 minutes.
- 9
Add the cooking cream and let it reduce.
- 10
Reduce the heat and add half of the shredded cheese (I use a mix of gouda, emmental and rigatello)
- 11
Stir and adjust seasoning to taste.
- 12
Fill the zucchini with the mixture and add shredded cheese on top to get a nice crust!
- 13
Put it in the oven for 15 min at 180°C.
- 14
Prepare the quinoa as described on the package. You can add chicken stock to the water to improve the taste!
- 15
Put everything on a plate and enjoy your meal! Cheers!

Stuffed zucchini (vegetarian) Stuffed zucchini (vegetarian)
I love pizzas so I wanted to make a healthy version. I am not a zucchini fan at all, actually this is the first time I use them and I like the result😅 but it is delicious!!!! I used texturized soy instead of meat to try and it was so delicious!!! Really try!!! You can also make it vegan if you don’t put the cheese :)I will put the ingredients per person and you can multiply for the number of people you are going to eat :)I am adding at the end of the recipe all the nutrient information. Also, a picture of the texturized soy that I found in a supermarket ( in my country it is a lot easier to find!) because the quality of the nutrients it has is great and I really recommend it.

Grill the zucchini well until it becomes golden brown, and you can eat the whole zucchini. If you like, mixing the sauce with some nuts like cashew nuts, almond, walnuts, or topping with them is also nice!

Quinoa bread with chia seeds, zucchini and carrots. No Flour!!! This is one of those recipies that sounds a little different when you read it. We thought the same way when we first sat down and created this recipe. we took some of our traditional recipes and substituted different healthier ingredients until we came up with this delicious bread. the idea behind changing traditional unhealthy eating habits is to try new things. we made this quinoa bread for our families and they really liked it. Be adventurous and try it. we wouldnt recommend it if we were not sure you would like it
