Ingredients
1 large zucchini (halved lengthwise)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 sweet onion (minced)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound ground lamb
Coarse salt to taste
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 can (16 ounces) tomato sauce
2 tomatoes (minced)
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup mint leaves
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup mint leaves
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
3/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
1* Using a melon baller, separate seeds and flesh from zucchini and cut each in half, leaving about a half-inch shell. Cut zucchini flesh into pieces about 1/4 inch in diameter. Remove seeds.
2*Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic in hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add ground lamb. Continue cooking and stirring until lamb is lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add chopped zucchini to lamb mixture and mix. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer mixture for about 3 minutes until zucchini is hot. Drain off excess fat. Season lamb mixture with coarse salt and black pepper.
3*Remove pan from heat. Stir 1/4 cup tomato sauce, tomatoes, feta, pine nuts, and mint leaves into lamb mixture. Spoon into zucchini halves. Place stuffed zucchini halves in a large baking dish. Pour water into baking dish.
4*Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Mix breadcrumbs and mozzarella in bowl. Scatter 1/4 cup mint leaves over the zucchini and top with the breadcrumb mixture. Continue baking until crisp and golden on top, about 10 more minutes.
