Direcciones
- Cut the zucchini crosswise into the thick, equal parts. Spoon out the seeds.To shorten the baking time in the oven, zucchinis can be pre-cooked in a microwave oven: put the zucchini in a microwave- proof dish and add very little water. Cover and cook 10 minutes at max. Drain and set aside.
- Squeeze sausages out of their casings into the pan with hot oil and cook until lightly browned, breaking apart with the back of the turner. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes over medium heat.
- Add oregano, cumin, salt and pepper, sauté 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Add rice, lentils and Parmesan cheese, stir and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place hollowed-out zucchini in a baking dish thinly coated with olive oil. Stuff the filling mixture into the hollowed-out zucchini, using a spoon to press the mixture down so it's tightly packed.
- Bake in the oven at 200ºC for 30 minutes if the zucchini has been pre-cooked in the MWC, or for 45 minutes if they are not pre-cooked.
- About 10 minutes before the end of cooking remove from oven and top each zucchini with grated mozzarella. Put back into the oven and bake until cheese is melted.
- Serve with salad.
