Ingredients
1 globe zucchini4 oz ground lamb1/2 tablespoon olive oil1/4 medium onion2 cloves garlic47 grams cooked wheat berries1 egg1 oz reduced-fat feta cheese1 tsp ground cumin1 tsp zatar seasoningaleppo pepper to tastesalt to taste
Cut top off zucchini. Using a short paring knife, cut around the inside of the zucchini, leaving between 1/4 and 1/2 inch on the sides. Remove flesh from center, discarding seeds where possible. Chop center flesh and set aside.
Cook zucchini in microwave for about five minutes, until the sides have softened up some.
Chop onion and garlic. Saute in olive oil over medium heat until onion is soft and translucent.
Add cumin, zatar, aleppo pepper and salt to onions and garlic. Stir.
When spices are fragrant, add ground lamb and cook until it is browned.
Add reserved zucchini and wheat berries. Continue to saute until zucchini is soft.
Beat the egg. Add a tablespoon or two of the hot meat mixture to the egg to temper it a bit so it won't scramble when you pour it into the meat mixture. Combine egg with meat mixture. Add crumbled feta.
Stuff the meat mixture into the zucchini and bake at 375 for about half an hour.
I call this a one-dish dinner for one, but you might choose to make two servings out of it and add a salad.
