Ingredients

Zucchini Filling

3 large zucchinis washed and lightly peeled
1 medium onion cut into big chunks
¼ cup water
1 lb ground beef or breakfast sausage
¼ cup parsley finely chopped
¼ cup dill finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon sea salt

For Garnish

¼ cup Feta cheese crumbled

Tomato Sauce

1 tablespoon tomato sauce
1 tablespoon red pepper paste
1 cup water
2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Scratch zucchini with fork. Cut into 1 inch rings. Carefully carve inside out using a spoon (we will use the carved out zucchini in the next step).
Into a blender add onion, carved out zucchini and water, Blend until smooth.
Into a large bowl, add ground beef, blended onion with zucchini, parsley, dill, cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper and avocado oil. Mix everything using your hands (I like to use gloves when mixing meat with my hands).
Set zucchini rings in baking pan (or oven safe skillet). Fill zucchini with filling. Pour tomato sauce over zucchini.
Bake for 45 minutes uncovered, or until zucchini and filling is cooked thru. Garnish with feta cheese and dill. Serve with mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

Tomato Sauce

To make Tomato Sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a big cup, stir until everything is combined.
