This plate is light and doesn’t have a lot of calories. It’s perfect for the summer because, during summer time round, zucchinis grow. This is a pure creation of mine, and I hope you like this; personally, this zucchini filled with tuna recipe is one of my favourites.
Gourmet Zucchini Filled With Tuna and Quinoa
Those who love fish and healthy eating will get excited by this zucchini filled with tuna and quinoa recipe.
Ingredients
2 medium zucchini - round, as large as you can find
½ pound quinoa- 1 pound tuna - fresh, white tuna chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil - extra virgin
1 bulb garlic
Instructions
- Put round zucchini to boil; depending on the size (I prefer medium to large) it should take about 10 minutes.
- Rinse the quinoa well and put it in a pot to simmer in salty water for 15 minutes. Drain and leave it on a plate.
- Scoop with a spoon inside the round zucchini and leave the pulp in a dish. In a saucepan, heat the oil and garlic together until you smell the typical garlic scent.
- Then take the garlic out of the pan, put the zucchini pulp and chopped fish in the pan and mix them well.
- Add salt and pepper. After that add the quinoa and stir again.
- Add salt and pepper inside the zucchini, fill them with the mixture and serve.
Notes
You can use canned tuna of your choice if you don’t have fresh white tuna fish.
