Serves 4
4 medium zucchini (about 2 lb.)
¼ lb. bulk pork sausage (or use turkey sausage)
¼ cup chopped onions
½ cup fine cracker crumbs
1 egg, slightly beaten
½ teaspoon MSG (monosodium glutamate) I omit this and just add a little more salt but only if needed
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon thyme
Dash each of garlic salt and pepper
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated – divided use
1. Cook whole zucchini in boiling salted water “till” barely tender, 7 to 10 minutes. (Or cook in microwave.)
2. Cut in half lengthwise; scoop zucchini from shell and mash.
3. Cook sausage and onions; drain off excess fat; stir in mashed zucchini, cracker crumbs, egg, MSG, salt, thyme, garlic salt and pepper. Reserve 2 tablespoons of cheese and mix remaining cheese with sausage-zucchini mixture; spoon into zucchini shells and place in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with reserved 2 tablespoons of cheese.
4. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes.
That is ridiculous, MSG in a recipe! Oh how times change. Thanks God.
