Grilled stuffed zucchini
(Kim's recipe)

2 medium zucchinis
4 oz Italian sausage
¼ cup diced red onions
2 cloves garlic
1 medium tomato (1/4 cup) diced
1 tsp. basil
½ cup Italian cheese blend
1 tbsp. Italian style bread crumbs
Kocher salt
Extra virgin olive oil

Scoop out centers and save them...leave at least ¼ inch at the edges and bottom/ take the good parts of zucchini guts and dice up ½ cup…this will go in the filling
Use your hands and rub a little olive oil all the inside. Sprinkle with salt and peper
Preheat grill. Brown sausage…add onions, garlic and diced zucchini. Cook until onions are tender. Add tomato and basil and salt and black pepper.
Grill zucchini hollow side down for 5 minutes on medium heat. Charred marks but still tender

Add cheese and bread crumbs to the filling mixture and stir. Divide the filling between the 4 zucchini halves.  Top with 1 tbsp cheese and sprinkle with ¼ to ½ tsp. bread crumbs. Place back on grill for another 5-7 minutes with grill lid down.   Can also broil 2 racks from the top of the oven.
