BAKED STUFFED ZUCCHINI

The tangy goat cheese stuffing contrasts well with the very delicate flavor of the zucchini in this recipe. Wrap the zucchini in aluminum foil and bake them in the embers of the fire.

INGREDIENTS
8 small zucchini, about
1 pound total weight tablespoon olive oil, plus
extra for brushing 3—4 ounces goat cheese,
cut into thin strips a few sprigs of fresh mint, finely chopped, plus extra to garnish
freshly ground black pepper

SERVES 4

1. Cut 8 pieces of aluminum foil large enough to encase each zucchini and lightly brush with olive oil. Trim the zucchini and cut a thin slit along the length of each.

2. Insert pieces of goat cheese into the slits. Add a little chopped mint and sprinkle with the oil and black pepper.

3. Wrap each zucchini in foil, place in the embers of the fire and bake for about 25 minutes, until tender.
