Zucchini Boats

It's too hot to put the oven on, but we wanted stuffed zucchini. No problem, we will just bake them on the grill.

Well, it was 6:15 and everyone was starving, so I short-cutted it. This is a method worth remembering!

Cut two large (not huge) zucchinis length-wise and scoop out the seeds. Microwave on high about three minutes or until it begins to soften. Rub the "boats" with oil and season to taste (I used fajita seasoning). Throw the boats on the grill to finish cooking and to achieve those yummy char lines.

Meanwhile, brown 1-1.5 lbs ground sirloin. Add veggies of choice-I used a little onion, shallot, green pepper, zucchini, and some leftover grilled veggies from the day before. Saute until you're happy with the tenderness. Sprinkle in a bunch of Garlic and Herb Mrs Dash and some ground cumin. Add two chopped, juicy tomatoes. Finally, mix in a handful each of breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.

Spoon beef mixture into the grilled boats, top with grated cheese (parmesan or Mizithra) and serve with garlic bread and a simple salad of tomatoes, cukes, basil and fresh mozzarella sprinkled with balsamic vinegar.

If you hustle, this can be ready in 30 minutes, Rachael Ray-style! Supper was a hit with the whole family and there were no leftovers! YUM!!!!!!
