Stuff It & Grill It: Sanoviv’s Stuffed Zucchini Recipe

It’s zucchini season and grilling season, which begs the question—how else can I grill zucchini besides on a kabob or flat on the grill? Your answer—and meal—is served with this healthy and satisfying stuffed zucchini recipe from Sanoviv Medical Institute in Playas de Rosarito, Mexico.

While the instructions in this recipe say to bake the zucchini in a 350° F oven, you can easily take this dish to the grill: Simply place the stuffed zucchini on a grill turned to medium heat, cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until zucchini is tender. Chef’s tip: Place the raw zucchini on the grill (or in the oven) for a few minutes before stuffing—it’ll help speed up the tenderizing process after it’s stuffed.
