Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 2 Glasses (300 g each, approx. 150 g drained weight) of pickled cow's milk cheese (Feta type) in oil with olives
  • 1 large green and yellow zucchini (approx. 350 g each)
  • 1 (80 g) Onion
  • 1 (250 g) small aubergine
  • 4 (à 100 g) Tomatoes
  • 150 g Ciabatta
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 5 Stem(s) Basil
  • 500 g strained tomatoes
  • 7-10 Tbsp Sugar

Directions

  1. 1

    Drain the cheese mixture. Collect the oil. Halve the zucchini, scrape out the inside with a ball cutter or a teaspoon. Crush the inside. Peel onion and chop finely.

  2. 2

    Clean, wash and finely dice the aubergine. Wash, clean, quarter and seed the tomatoes. Cut the flesh into small cubes. Cut ciabatta into cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons of drained oil in a pan.

  3. 3

    Roast the ciabatta in it until golden brown all around. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in another large pan. Fry the zucchini halves for about 3 minutes on each side, seasoning with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    In the meantime mix bread cubes with cheese mixture. Take out the zucchini and put them on a baking tray. Fill the zucchini with the bread mixture and cook in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 25 minutes.

  5. 5

    In the meantime, wash the basil, dab dry, and put some leaves aside for garnishing. Cut the rest into strips. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a saucepan. Sauté the onion, courgette interior and aubergines until translucent.

  6. 6

    Deglaze with strained tomatoes and boil down briefly to a creamy sauce. Fold basil strips and tomato cubes into the sauce, season with salt, pepper and sugar. Remove the zucchini from the oven and arrange them with the sauce on a preheated plate.

    Garnish zucchini with basil.
