Turkish Stuffed Zucchini

Two years ago I spent a month living and learning in Istanbul, Turkey. That whole experience changed me. I miss Istanbul almost everyday, some more than others. Friday night all my dreams were about Istanbul, so I woke up craving Turkish food bad! I had a bridal shower to go to so I didnt get home til late and wasnt in the mood for cooking anything really big. I found a blog with some really yummy looking Turkish recipes. I found one that looked easy, and pretty quick. I have linked to the recipe here (click for recipe) -> Stuffed Zucchini

This recipe is for 4 zucchinis I only had one, so I didnt really follow the measurements, I just eyed it all. I also didnt use any egg. I wasnt really sure how to go about that since it called for 1 egg for 4 zucchinis so I just skipped it, to make the mixture creamier I added a small splash of milk.

All I could find at the store was parsley, they had zero dill! I think the dill will add a good flavor next time.

I probably also should have let it boil a bit longer than I did. The insides could have scooped easier. Another lesson for next time!

This the mixture, I added too much cheese, yet another lesson!

Stuffed and ready for cooking! I did 10 minutes and then broiled a few more, next time Ill probably broil longer to make it crunchy on top!

The Finished Product! It turned out pretty tasty. This will be a great light summer lunch or dinner! Next time I know to do things a tad differently though. If you try and make it let me know what changes you make, if any. Enjoy!
