Greek Zucchini Boats

Greek Zucchini Boats

Thank you to Melissa’s Produce for the zucchini and True Aussie Beef and Lamb for the ground lamb that inspired this recipe.

Lamb-Stuffed Zucchinis are a flavour explosion of ground Aussie lamb, herbs, feta, and red onion, baked to perfection on the EGG and served with a kickin' Tzatziki Sauce!

Ingredients:

  • 2 zucchinis
  • ½ lbs. ground Australian lamb
  • ½ tbsp dried oregano
  • ½ tbsp dried thyme
  • ½ tbsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp kosher salt (separated)
  • 2 tsp black pepper (separated)
  • ¼ cup feta cheese
  • ¼ red onion, chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Equipment:

  • convEGGtor
  • Cast Iron Skillet

Method:

Set your EGG up for indirect cooking with a convEGGtor at 191°C; add the cast iron skillet to the EGG to preheat.

Add the ground lamb to the cast iron skillet and season with the oregano, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook until completely done and remove the skillet from the EGG.

Cut off the ends of the zucchini, and cut lengthwise in half. Using a spoon, scoop out the middle of the zucchinis.

Season the inside of the zucchinis with salt and pepper.

Spoon the cooked ground lamb into each of the halved zucchini shells.

Top with feta cheese, and red onion. Place the stuffed zucchini on the EGG and bake for 25 minutes, or until zucchini is tender and cheese is melted.

Serve with the tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
