Description
Don't be scared to go a little overboard and add a dash of fun to meal time with these delightfully delicious zucchini boats stuffed with rice salad.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Using a small spoon, remove the flesh from the centre of the zucchini, leaving a 5mm-thick shell. Finely chop zucchini flesh and reserve in a bowl. Spray zucchini shells with oil and place, cut-side down, on the prepared tray. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes or until just tender.
Step 2 of 4
Meanwhile, lightly spray a large, deep frying pan with oil and heat over high heat. Add mince and cook, breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon, for 3-4 minutes until browned. Add reserved zucchini flesh, paprika and half of the beans and stir to combine. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes, until heated through. Season with freshly cracked black pepper.
Step 3 of 4
Turn the zucchini shells cut-side up. Spoon mince mixture into each shell. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake for 10 minutes or until mozzarella is melted and zucchini is tender.
Step 4 of 4
Coarsely chop half of the coriander. Combine rice, corn, chopped coriander and remaining beans in a large bowl. Divide rice salad and zucchini among plates. Serve sprinkled with remaining coriander.
