Steps: Stuffed Zucchini with Rice in a Skillet
In a pot pour a drizzle of oil and sauté a finely chopped onion, if you want to make this step lighter, replace the oil with a few tablespoons of water.
Add the cherry tomatoes cut into small pieces, I recommend cherry tomatoes because they are a very flavorful and delicate variety.
Wash the zucchinis, cut them horizontally to remove the top, and at this point, you can decide to hollow them out with a knife, trying to keep the bottom, or if you’re always in a hurry like me, put them directly in the pot and cook them covered for about half an hour, turning them halfway through cooking.
Remove them from the pot and hollow them out; the pulp will not be fully cooked, and you will add it back to the onion and tomatoes.
Meanwhile, cook the rice in a pot, drain it al dente, and pour it into the pot along with the zucchini pulp and feta cut into cubes, let everything blend for about five minutes, the feta will melt and make the filling soft and delicious.
Fill the zucchinis with the filling, and the dish is ready to be enjoyed.
