Where to find ingredients
Zucchinis, garlic, and bread can be found at local fresh food markets (nsofu) or general grocery stores. Margarine is widely available in local supermarkets. As a substitute for bread, you may use any crusty loaf; fresh herbs can replace dried oregano if preferred.

- Place them in a microwave-safe plastic bag.
- Microwave on high power for 6 minutes.
- Remove from the microwave carefully and let cool slightly.
- Remove the pulp with a spoon and chop it finely.
- Set aside the hollowed-out skins 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 pulp, bread cubes, oregano, and salt.
- Gently mix all the filling ingredients together.
- Distribute the filling into the reserved zucchini skins.
- Arrange the stuffed zucchinis in a microwave-safe dish.
- Return to the microwave for another 2 minutes on high power to finish.
- Serve immediately, adding grated cheese on top if desired.
