Tex-Mex Stuffed Zucchini
- 3 zucchini medium
- kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons EVOO
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 jalapeno minced
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
- 1 cup muenster cheese grated
- 1 tomato large, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons scallions chopped
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- pickled jalapenos sliced, for topping, optional
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Halve 2 zucchini lengthwise; scoop out the seeds, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Chop the scooped-out zucchini flesh and transfer to a bowl. Grate the remaining whole zucchini on the large holes of a box grater; add to the bowl along with 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside 10 minutes, then squeeze out the liquid.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, minced jalapeno, chile powder and grated zucchini mixture; cook until tender, 4 minutes. Let cool, then stir in the cheese. Spoon into the zucchini halves. Transfer to the baking sheet and bake until bubbling, 20 minutes.
- Combine the tomato, scallions and cilantro in a small bowl. Spoon over the zucchini, then top with pickled jalapenos.
