Crab-Stuffed Zucchini


A few month ago I randomly bought a can of crabmeat. I have no idea why. I didn't have a recipe in mind when I bought it, so I was so happy to come across this recipe and finally find a use for that can of crabmeat. And boy they were good!




Scoop out the pulp of 3 medium zucchinis, leaving 1/2 inch thick shells. Chop the pulp.


Arrange the shells on a greased baking sheet.


Melt 2tbsp of margarine in a medium frying pan. Add;
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften. Add the zucchini pulp and stir.


Transfer mixture to a medium bowl.
Add;
6oz can of crabmeat, drained
1/2 cup grated swiss cheese
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Beat 1 large egg and add to mixture.




Add:
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 tsp chopped fresh dill (or 1/2 tsp dill weed)
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp pepper
stir well



Spoon into zuchinni shells.



Bake in 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes until filling is set.
