Stuffed Zucchini

Love sauteed onions with anything!  A simple recipe that you can mix up with different herbs or switch the rice for quinoa.

8 zucchini
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup cooked rice
Fresh basil, thyme and summer savory
1 cup bread crumbs mixed with 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
1 cup tomato/pasta sauce

Slice zucchini in 1/2 lengthwise.  Scoop out flesh.  Place flesh in colander.  Sprinkle salt on shells and flesh.  Let stand for 15 minutes.  Rinse zucchini.  Place shells in greased baking pan.  Squeeze water out of flesh.

Saute onion, zucchini and garlic in oil or butter.  Add fresh herbs.  Mix with rice and place back into shells.  Top with bread crumb/cheese mixture.  Dot with butter.  Bake for 40 minutes at 350F.  Serve with your favourite tomato sauce.
