Mushroom Stuffed Zucchini Cups Recipes

Steps:

• Saute mushrooms and onions until tender.
• Remove mushrooms from heat and stir in cilantro and parmesan.
• Cut zucchini into 1 inch slices. Scoop out the seeds from each slice creating a cup. Remember, cups have bottoms. ps: I use a strawberry huller to scoop the seeds, but a melon baller would work too.
• Season cups with salt and pepper.
• Fill cups with mushroom mixture.
• Place cups in steamer basket and steam for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Scoop out the insides of the zucchini halves with a small spoon. Reserve the cored halves and the insides.
• Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes more. Add the celery and the reserved insides of the zucchini and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the white wine and cook it down for 1 minute. Add the veal and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until it browns nicely, approximately 8 minutes. Stir in the basil and the rosemary and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat, place in a bowl, and allow to cool.
• Once the mixture has cooled, blend in the cheese, egg, butter, salt, and pepper. Fill the cored zucchini with the mixture.
• Fill a baking pan with 1/4 inch of water. Place the filled zucchini halves in the pan and bake for 40 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the zucchini carefully from the pan to a warm platter, spooning the juices from the pan on top of them, and serve.
