PREPARING THE ZUCCHINI

Trim the ends off of the zucchinis, and cut the zucchinis into 2 inch thick rounds.

With a small spoon, spoon out the inside of the zucchini, leaving a small amount to hold in the vegetables.

Finely dice whatever parts of the zucchini you remove and set aside in a large bowl.

PREPARING THE FILLING

In the bowl with the diced zucchini, add all remaining ingredients and stir well to incorporate all together.

Fill each zucchini round with the vegetable mixture.

Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or served right away.
