What is it that's just so fun about stuffing vegetables? This is a long-time favorite recipe, partly because while it may look impressive, it takes just 20 minutes to get it into the oven. Thanks to the tang of good feta, it tastes much richer than it is, perfect light summer fare.~recipe & photo updated & reposted 2012~

2006 ORIGINAL POST Don't those zucchini boats look impressive? Think I must've slaved? But no, no, no! These are a snap to make, just 20 minutes into the oven. (And perfect to make ahead.) And once they're in the oven? The house smells oh-so-good! And a little bit to my surprise, they're not just good, they're delicious — my first really-favorite new vegetable of the summer! I will definitely make these again for a weekend supper or a special gathering. I'd even cut them into one-inch lengths as an appetizer! (Oh my. These must really be good to rate four exclamation points in one paragraphs! Uh, make it five.)
2012 UPDATE I love the recipes that say, "Make me!" but then happily accept adaptations based on taste and time and what's on hand. This is that kind of recipe, a good basic start but would be great with fresh herbs, more bits of vegetable (perhaps carrot or pepper for color?) and I think tiny bits of shrimp or sausage would be good too, adding protein and structure. I'm even tempted to add a little baking powder to the mixture (about 1/4 teaspoon, I think) to let the stuffing puff up in an airy pillow. The fixtures are the zucchini and the feta, after that, feel free to play around. Enjoy!
