Where to find ingredients
Find fresh zucchini and bread in the produce and bakery aisles of local grocery stores. If you cannot find fresh bread, store-bought breadcrumbs can serve as a substitute for the cubed bread, though the texture will be finer.
Preparation method
- Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise.
- Place them in a food-safe plastic bag.
- Microwave on high power for 6 minutes.
- Carefully remove from the microwave and let them cool slightly.
- Scoop out the pulp with a spoon and chop it finely.
- Reserve the shells, which will serve as the base for the filling.
- 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 mix all the filling ingredients together.
- Distribute the filling into the reserved zucchini shells.
- Arrange the stuffed zucchini in a microwave-safe dish.
- Return to the microwave for another 2 minutes on high power to finish.
- Serve immediately, topping with grated cheese if desired.
