The ingredients for Lamb-stuffed Zucchini are:

1 globe zucchini
4 oz ground lamb
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
47 grams cooked wheat berries
1 egg
1 oz reduced-fat feta cheese
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp zatar seasoning
aleppo pepper to taste
salt to taste

Here is how you make Lamb-stuffed Zucchini:

Cut top off zucchini. Using a short paring knife, cut around the inside of the zucchini, leaving between 1/4 and 1/2 inch on the sides. Remove flesh from center, discarding seeds where possible. Chop center flesh and set aside.Cook zucchini in microwave for about five minutes, until the sides have softened up some.Chop onion and garlic. Saute in olive oil over medium heat until onion is soft and translucent.Add cumin, zatar, aleppo pepper and salt to onions and garlic. Stir. When spices are fragrant, add ground lamb and cook until it is browned. Add reserved zucchini and wheat berries. Continue to saute until zucchini is soft. Beat the egg. Add a tablespoon or two of the hot meat mixture to the egg to temper it a bit so it won't scramble when you pour it into the meat mixture. Combine egg with meat mixture. Add crumbled feta.Stuff the meat mixture into the zucchini and bake at 375 for about half an hour.I call this a one-dish dinner for one, but you might choose to make two servings out of it and add a salad.Number of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user REVJVH.
