Zucchini Boats on the Grill image

Fresh zucchini stuffed with your favorite ingredients and finished on the barbecue grill. Great side dish or as a light meal on their own. When I make these I never measure the ingredients, I just make it look "right".

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium zucchini
1 slice white bread, torn into small pieces
1/4 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 tablespoon black olives, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
3 tablespoons green chili peppers, diced
1/4 cup onion, minced
1/4 cup tomatoes, chopped
6 tablespoons sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 pinch dried basil
seasoning salt, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill for indirect heat.
  • Place the zucchini in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook 5 - 10 minutes. Drain, cool, and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the pulp to about 1/4 inch from the skin. Chop pulp.
  • In a bowl, mix the zucchini pulp with all of the other ingredients.
  • Stuff the zucchini halves with the pulp mixture.
  • Seal each zucchini half in aluminum foil. Place the foil packets on the prepared grill over indirect heat. Cook 15 - 25 minutes (depending on the size of your zucchini.).
  • Use your imagination, you could "clean-out-the-fridge" and make endless combinations of stuffed zucchini!
