MUSHROOM STUFFED ZUCCHINI CUPS



Mushroom stuffed zucchini cups image

Nice lo-carb appetizer. In the paste I've used button mushrooms, this time I used baby portabella and I think I like it better. ps: I made way too much stuffing this time and the next day I stuffed it into mini sweet peppers for lunch. Yummy.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium zucchini
2 teaspoon(s) olive oil
2 cup(s) mushrooms
2 tablespoon(s) onion
2 tablespoon(s) cilantro, fresh
1 tablespoon(s) parmesan cheese, grated
- salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Saute mushrooms and onions until tender.
  • Remove mushrooms from heat and stir in cilantro and parmesan.
  • Cut zucchini into 1 inch slices. Scoop out the seeds from each slice creating a cup. Remember, cups have bottoms. ps: I use a strawberry huller to scoop the seeds, but a melon baller would work too.

  • Place cups in steamer basket and steam for 20 minutes.
