Best Zucchini Fritters With Fresh Mozzarella And Tomato Recipes
ITALIAN-STYLE ZUCCHINI BOATS
I love zucchini boats, and I'm always looking for new ways to experience them. This is a very hearty dish with ground beef, and my family loves it! This is the perfect use for all those jumbo zucchinis growing in your garden! Sprinkle each slice with additional dried oregano and dried basil as desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Drizzle olive oil on zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until zucchini is fork-tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
- While zucchini is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef with onion and garlic until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in dried basil, dried oregano, and garlic salt.
- Combine tomato paste with 1 cup of water in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly. Drain fat from beef mixture if needed. Add tomato paste mixture and heat through. Turn off heat, add fresh basil leaves, and mix until well blended.
- Remove zucchini from the oven; leave the oven on. Scoop meat mixture generously into each zucchini quarter and sprinkle each with mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

ZUCCHINI E POMODORI GRATINATI (ZUCCHINI AND TOMATO GRATIN)
A quick and easy vegetarian dish for two, or a starter for 4, or even a side. A rustic Italian favorite, taught me by my Roman friends. If serving as a main, then crusty bread, torn off the loaf by hand, and a green salad with a lemon and/or lime vinaigrettey dressing cannot be bettered.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Move oven rack into the top third of the oven.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and spread the zucchini slices into the skillet in a single layer. If they don't fit, cook them in batches. Sprinkle pieces of garlic over the zucchini, and cook until the zucchini are golden brown on both sides, about 8 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
- Arrange the slices of zucchini in an 9x12-inch glass baking dish, alternating with slices of mozzarella cheese and tomato, so that the slices overlap each other in a neat row pattern. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and basil over the dish, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and brown and the dish is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
