Easy Italian Round Zucchini Stuffed with Meat

• 2 Round zucchini (250-300 g each)
• 120 grams Ground meat
• 1/2 Onion
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tbsp Olive oil (for stir frying)
• 25 grams Grated Parmesan cheese (or other grated cheese)
• 25 grams Panko (for the stuffing)
• 1 Egg
• 1 dash Salt
• 1 dash Pepper
• 1 dash Peperoncino
• 1 Panko (for the topping)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil (to drizzle on top of the panko)

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add two large pinches of salt, put in the washed round zucchini and boil for 15 minutes.
2. While they're cooking, chop the onion and garlic.
3. Quickly soak the zucchini in water, cut off the stems, and scoop out the insides with a knife or spoon.
4. Chop the scooped out part finely.
5. They'll be really hot when you scoop them out, so be careful Also, a lot of juice will come out of the zucchini at this point, but don't throw it out.
6. You'll use it in Step 6.
7. Saute the finely chopped onion and garlic in olive oil over low heat until wilted.
8. The photos in Steps 4-8 were taken when I made it and doubled the recipe.
9. Stir-fry the scooped out chopped zucchini and the juices, with the ground meat over low heat for 10 minutes.
10. Season with salt, pepper and peperoncino, if you'd like.
11. Break an egg into a bowl, and mix in the grated cheese and 25 g panko.
12. Cool the stir-fried zucchini mixture slightly, and stir it into the bowl.
13. Adjust the seasoning, and the filling is done.
14. I think it tastes better well seasoned.
15. Pre-heat the oven to 180C.
16. Stuff the zucchini with the filling, and sprinkle panko on the tops.
17. Drizzle with olive oil and bake at 180C for about 30 minutes.
18. Put the stem tops in the oven for the last 20 minutes.
19. Adjust the baking time according to your oven Place the stem top caps on top and serve.
20. It's tasty the next day, if you reheat it and eat it with consomme soup.
21. I used 100% ground beef, but you could also use a mixture of ground beef and pork.
22. I think you could also make this with ordinary zucchini.
