Courgette (Zucchini) Boats
Recipe by Graham
An easy and delicious way to make your courgettes (zucchini) more interesting. A little bacon, onion, mozzarella and egg can go a long way when you use your imagination. 30 minutes from start to finish and you'll keep your whole family happy. This recipe is for 6 people, so each courgette (zucchini) is cut in two for serving. However, it's easy to adjust to slightly smaller courgettes (zucchinis) and serve one each.

How to Cook Courgette (Zucchini) Boats
- Slice off one side of the zucchini skin, then use a melon baller or small spoon to remove the insides, creating a courgette boat (zucchini boat). Chop the flesh of the zucchini into small pieces, then sauté them with lardons and chopped onion for 7 - 8 minutes until they are tender.
- Stuff the courgettes with this mixture (leaving a little room on top), then bake in a moderate oven (Mk 4 - 350°F - 180°C) for 15 minutes. Break 3 eggs into to each courgette and sprinkle mozzarella on top. Bake for a further 3 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and enjoy.
