About Filled zucchini
Filled zucchini is a versatile, nutritious dish popular in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Typically, hollowed-out zucchini is stuffed with a mixture of lean ground meat, rice, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and flavorful herbs like parsley, cumin, and oregano. Vegetarian variations often include lentils, quinoa, or a mix of cheese and vegetables as the filling. This dish is rich in vitamins from the zucchini, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, which support digestion and overall health. The lean protein in the filling helps with muscle repair and satiety, while heart-healthy olive oil is often used in its preparation. However, depending on the recipe, it can be higher in sodium or fats if prepared with processed ingredients or heavy cheese. Served baked or simmered in tomato sauce, filled zucchini is both satisfying and nutrient-dense, offering a wholesome option for balanced meals.
