60g bread, cut into cubes
1/2 teaspoon oregano

1 clove of garlic, minced
4 teaspoons margarine

Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh courgettes and bread at local supermarkets and fresh produce markets. Use margarine available in the refrigerated aisle. As a substitute for the margarine, butter can be used, and any crusty bread works well for the cubes.
Preparation method

- Place them in a food-safe plastic bag.
- Microwave on high power for 6 minutes.
- Carefully remove from the microwave and let them cool down slightly.
- Scoop out the flesh using a spoon and chop it finely.
- Set aside the shells to serve as the base for the filling.
- In a microwave-safe dish, melt the margarine and brown the garlic for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the chopped flesh, bread cubes, oregano, and salt.
- Gently mix all the filling ingredients together.
- Distribute the filling over the reserved shells.
- Place the stuffed courgettes back into a microwave-safe dish.
- Microwave for an additional 2 minutes on high power to finish.
- Serve immediately; you may add grated cheese on top if desired.
