Zucchini Stuffed with Feta and Dill

1. 1

   Trim and discard the stem ends from 2 of the zucchini, halve the 2 zucchini lengthwise, and with a melon-ball cutter scoop out the flesh, reserving it and leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells.

2. 2

   Arrange the shells, cut sides up, on a steamer rack set over simmering water and steam them, covered, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are just tender.

3. 3

   Invert the shells on paper towels to drain.

4. 4

   Cut the remaining 2 zucchini crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

5. 5

   In a non-stick skillet cook the onions in the oil over moderate heat, stirring, until they are softened, add the reserved flesh, chopped, and the zucchini slices, and saute the mixture over moderately high heat, stirring, until it is golden.

6. 6

   In a food processor blend the mixture with the Feta until the zucchini slices are chopped coarse and stir in the dill.

7. 7

   Divide the filling among the 4 zucchini shells, arrange the stuffed zucchini in an oiled flameproof baking dish, and broil them under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 3 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and deep golden.
