Ingredients
- 3 cups (210 g) fresh breadcrumbs (preferably homemade – see Note)
- 2 cups (160 g) grated pecorino or parmigiano
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped or minced
- 4–5 marjoram leaves
- 4–5 oregano leaves
- 1–2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 zucchini (courgettes)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Mix together the breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, herbs and olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Cut the zucchini in half lengthways. Using a spoon or a paring knife, scoop out some of the flesh, then fill the zucchini shells with the breadcrumb mixture. Place on the prepared tray, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown.
Note
• To make breadcrumbs, simply blitz stale bread in a food processor until coarsely chopped. The breadcrumbs will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
