Fresh Cherry Tomatoes
Gorgonzola Cheese
Pancetta (Bacon)
Parmesan
Onion
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Oven at 180°C
Serving For Two
- Start by emptying your two courgettes. Cut them in half vertically to make the job easier. You can empty them with a small knife and/or a spoon. You need to completely gut the vegetable. Put the inside of it in a plate.
- Get a small pan. Inside put half a chopped onion and some olive oil. Put the heat of full so the onion can fry.
- Chop up finely the inside of the courgettes and add it to the pan when the onion has become transparent.
- Then chop into four a handful of cherry tomatoes and add them to the pan. Keep stirring all the ingredients on full heat.
- Add a handful of cubed pancetta and 3/4 of a glass of water. Put a lid on the pan and lower the heat slightly.
- Put your gutted courgettes on a plate and microwave on full heat for around 2 minutes. They should become a little softer and this will ensure they will be cooked at the same time as the topping in the oven. Place them on an oven dish ready to fill.
- After a little while, lift the lid and let the water totally reduce. Make sure the courgette pieces are cooked. Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper for seasoning.
- Also add a sprinkle of salt to the empty courgettes.
- Then when the filling has cooked, spoon it into the courgette shells until they are full.
- Add a two strips of gorgonzola on each courgette half and sprinkle some parmesan at the end.
- Put the oven dish in the oven at 180°C and cook for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the courgettes as each oven is slightly different.
- When the toping is golden, switch the oven off and let them cool down for 10 minutes or so.
- When they are at room temperature serve them up.
Enjoy!
These are fantastic. I made them last evening. Only change I made was using Cheddar instead of Gorgonzola for the kid's. Everyone loved them.
