Gluten Free Zucchini Boats

This is a great recipe. It's high in protein, low in carbs and fat and very tasty.

You will need:

5 green zucchinis

1/2 cup chick peas (cooked, drained)

4 Tbsp of soft goat cheese

2 Tbsp of raw almonds

1 cup of fresh basil

2 cloves of garlic

1/2 tsp lemon zest

Olive oil

Salt and Pepper to taste


Cut the zucchinis in half, lengthwise, and with a teaspoon gently take out the flesh inside, forming a well.
(Be careful not to break through the bottom) Brush the zucchini halves with olive oil and bake in an oven at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes.

In the meantime, squeeze out the excess water from the zucchini meat and place in a food processor. Add the garlic, goat cheese, basil, almonds, chick peas, lemon zest and salt and mix together.

Once the zucchini shells are done baking, remove from the oven and let it cool for approximately 1/2 hour. When they are cooled, with a tablespoon, fill the zucchini shells with the mixture and place it back in the oven for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Voila! So simple, so healthy, so delicious!!

Garden Fresh Eggplant Burgers

Ahh...I love the summer! Visiting local food markets, the fresh herbs and vegetables from your own garden--nothing beats it !! Since this is the time of year to get fresh, cheap eggplant, I went out and got 2 nice eggplants. I love eggplant because of its versatility and contrary to what many people may think, it is so delicious!!!

Here is an excellent recipe. It's gluten-free, healthy and DELICIOUS!!

Enjoy!!

You will need:

2 eggplants, peeled and cubed

1 cup of chives, finely chopped

3 cloves of crushed garlic

1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped

2 Tbsp finely chopped dill

3 Tbsp grated pecorino cheese (or you can use parmasan)

3 Eggs, beaten

1 1/2 cups of Gluten-free bread crumbs

Salt to taste

Place the eggplant in a large pot filled with water and bring it to a boil. Then let it cook for approximately another 5 minutes. Then, drain the eggplant. Set aside to cool. When it is cooled, press down on the eggplant to get rid of the water.

Then, in a bowl combine the eggplant with the eggs, cheese, parsley, dill and salt. Add the bread crumbs one cup at a time and mix. (You may need to use a bit more bread crumbs if the mixture is too moist)

Then, form the mixture into a round shape and gently pat down to flaten. On a greased cookie sheet, place the patties.

Put in the oven at 375 degrees and bake for about 20 minutes, and then flip the burgers over. (Or if you have an electric oven, after 20 minutes, put the oven on broil and bake for approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown)

Tastes great on its own or with some tzatziki sauce.

Buon appetito!!
