How to choose the best ingredients for zucchini sticks stuffed with minced meat
Mincet meat: You choose the meat you like, I use a mixture of beef pork, but you can also use ground poultry meat. Meat always adds low fat, and it is best to grind it yourself or use it from a reliable supplier.
Zucchini: We choose young courgettes, where the seed nests are not yet developed, and the skin is soft. You can stuff these courgettes faster and easier. There is an option to make zucchini sticks stuffed with minced meat from a large zucchini, but you have to turn it off the skin and expose the seeds well. You can then cut it into pieces after baking.
Garlic: I always try to use fresh garlic in dishes, but I always have a spare one in granulated, and here you can also replace these two garlic cloves with granulated, it is about 1 teaspoon.
Pepper: Peppers can be colored, e.g., half red and half yellow. Due to its slight bitterness, green is not added to sauces. In my opinion, green pepper is more suitable as an addition to salads.
Chili powder: Chilli can be fresh as you like it, I sometimes add it when I have it, then our dish is spicier.
Oregano, basil: I usually use herbs from the garden in the spring and summer seasons because they are definitely more aromatic. However, if you have such an opportunity, I also encourage you to do so. You can also chill them at home if you have space. Later, there are definitely much better benefits in the kitchen when you add fresh herbs.
Grated cheese: cheese adds whatever you prefer, I like to mix delicate mozzarella and spicy cheddar, but you can make your combination.
Tips and tricks
- If the cheese is not burnt, you can cover it with aluminum in the oven if you want a baking foil that you bake by burning it.
- You can freeze the baked courgettes in this way, but then make sure that the cheese is not very browned, but gently so that it is still perfect after reheating.
