Step cooking
- Before starting cooking, you need to turn on the oven for heating at 180 ° C. From all three zucchini we cut the tails, and after that we cut each lengthwise into two equal parts. In halves of zucchini with a teaspoon, remove the flesh. This should be done so as not to damage the walls of the fetus. At the same time, a little more pulp should be left near the ends of the zucchini. As a result, the fruit should resemble a “boat” in shape. We collect the pulp in one container - it will still be needed.
- Processed zucchini salt and pepper inside and out.
- Lubricate the baking sheet with refined sunflower oil. Using a culinary brush, grease squash “boats” with sunflower oil inside and out. We spread the greased zucchini on the greased baking sheet with the hollow side down. We move the baking sheet into the preheated oven. We bake zucchini at a temperature of 180 ° C for 10 minutes.
- Chicken fillet, washed and dried, cut into small pieces. As an alternative to fillet, you can use minced chicken or any other minced meat, or any meat at your own discretion.
- We put the frying pan on the fire and pour over sunflower oil. Put the chopped fillet on a heated skillet and fry until it is browned.
- Take the onion and cut into quarter rings.
- Fry the chopped onion in the same pan and butter, on which the chicken was fried. The pulp removed from the zucchini is finely chopped with a knife. When the onion in the pan is fried until golden brown, add the chopped pulp of zucchini to it. Thoroughly mix the ingredients and fry until cooked - until all the liquid has evaporated and the mass begins to fry a little.
- Take a tomato and grind it with a knife to small cubes. Pour the processed ingredient into a bowl.
- Finely chop the dill, also chop the basil. Those who do not like it can not use basil, but replace, for example, with another fragrant herb such as parsley. Pour the chopped greens to the tomatoes.
- Pour the cooled fried chicken fillet into the same container. Rub 30 grams of hard cheese on a fine grater and pour in a bowl to all the ingredients.
- Add 70 grams of mayonnaise to the bowl and squeeze into it 3 cloves of garlic through the garlic. Mix the ingredients in a bowl thoroughly. Add the cooled zucchini to the bowl. Pepper and add salt to taste. Once again, thoroughly mix the ingredients in a bowl.
- We fill the “boats” from the zucchini with the filling from the bowl and put it on the same baking sheet on which the baked goods were baked.
- The remaining 70 grams of cheese is rubbed on a coarse grater and sprinkled with filling boats on the baking sheet.
- We move the baking sheet with the blanks into the oven preheated to 180 ° С.The baking time is 5-10 minutes, the main thing is that the cheese should melt from above, this will be enough. After the allotted time, it remains to remove the baking sheet from the oven, and the baked boats from the zucchini with minced meat are ready for serving.
