Ingredients :

4 medium sized courgettes
stuffing mixture
1 egg
1 tbsp oil

Method :

Preparation:
Cut the courgette in half lengthways and using a knife and a fork, scoop out the pulp.
Dice the pulp and combine it with the stuffing mixture.
Whisk the egg and the oil in a bowl.
Grease a Pyrex ovenproof dish.
Divide the stuffing mixture into the scooped out courgettes.
Brush the surface of the stuffing mixture with the egg and oil mixture.
Place the stuffed courgettes in the Pyrex dish.

Cooking:
Preheat the oven to gas mark 7 for 15 minutes.
Bake the courgettes for about 30 minutes. Brush the stuffing mixture once or twice with the egg and oil mixture.
Serve hot. If your guests eat with Chinese chopsticks, slice the courgettes into 2cm thick pieces, being careful not to let them fall apart.

Runweb tip :

Instead of courgettes, tomatoes can also be used. However, the tomato pulp can’t be used in the stuffing mixture, as it is too runny: instead, it can be used in other sauces. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the stuffed courgettes, if you wish.
