Ingredients
Method
Trim ends of zucchini; slice lengthwise in half. Using melon baller or spoon, scoop out pulp from centre, leaving 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick walls. Finely chop pulp and squeeze out liquid. Set aside.In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook onions, celery and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 6 minutes.
Add zucchini and tomatoes; cook until most of the moisture is evaporated, about 8 minutes.
Stir in half of the Parmesan cheese, the matzo meal, parsley, pine nuts, salt, oregano and pepper. Let cool slightly.
Divide evenly among zucchini halves. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Place in roasting pan. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) water to pan. Cover and bake in 375°F (190°C) oven for 30 minutes.
Uncover and bake until topping is browned and zucchini is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
