Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh courgettes and garlic at local greengrocers or supermarkets. If bread is not readily available, any crusty white loaf works perfectly as a substitute for the cubes.
Preparation method
- Slice the courgettes in half lengthwise.
- Place them into a microwave-safe plastic bag.
- Microwave on high power for 6 minutes.
- Carefully remove from the microwave and let them cool slightly.
- Remove the pulp using a spoon and chop it finely.
- Set aside the courgette shells to serve as the base for the stuffing.
- In a microwave-safe dish, melt the margarine and sauté the garlic for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the chopped pulp, bread cubes, oregano, and salt.
- Gently toss all the stuffing ingredients together.
- Distribute the filling evenly over the reserved shells.
- Arrange the stuffed courgettes in a microwave-safe dish.
- Return to the microwave for another 2 minutes on high power to finish.
- Serve immediately, perhaps with a sprinkle of grated cheese on top if desired.
