Sautéed half an onion in some OO. Threw in 1/2# of Hamburg and a 1/2# of mild Italian sausage.
Split some zuke length wise and hollowed out with a spoon.
Added zuke guts and a can of chopped tomatoes to the meat mix. Toss in some rice, maybe 3/4 cup, and a bit of water. Cook until rice is done. Add water if needed.
I steamed the zuke hulls in a pan for about 8-10 minutes. Spooned the mix into the zuke, topped with mozzarella and cheddar, onto a sheet pan and broil until nicely browned.
I just used a bit of Italian seasoning, S&P, red pepper flake, garlic in the meat mix.
Came out great.
