2

Finely chop the onion.

9

Heat oil in the pan. Add the minced garlic and sauté.
10

Add tomato sauce, honey, oregano, salt, cumin, and simmer.
11

After 10 minutes of simmering and stirring occasionally, remove from heat.
12

In an oven safe dish add a quarter cup of the sauce. Set the zucchini boats on top of sauce in dish.
13

Spoon the stuffing mixture into zucchini boats
14

Pour over the zucchini boats the rest of the sauce.
15

Add cheese and olives on top bake covered 40 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes.
