Vegetable Stuffed Zuchini

This is a delicious side dish or meal in its self. My best friend Tess made this for us when we were visiting her on Nantucket this Spring. It is really a versatile recipe. You can stuff them with whatever vegetables are on hand. As you can see from the picture, I used yellow squash. I of course couldn't make it as good as Tess's but it was still pretty tasty! Thanks Tess! Stuffed Zucchini
2 Zucchini (yellow or green)
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 C flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 C goat cheese or feta cheese
1 t evoo
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut each zucchini lengthwise and carefully scoop out the membrane, leaving a bit of the "flesh" to hold its form. Chop up discarded zucchini. Place zucchinis on a baking sheet skin side up and bake for 5-8 minutes or until slightly softened. Mix tomato, onion,garlic, parsley, including discarded zucchini in a bowl. Mix in goat cheese, evoo and salt and pepper. Stuff each zucchini half with vegetable mixture and bake for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
