Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 large shredded carrot
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 8 oz Hydrated soy meat - granules * see the notes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheese *violife

Method
 

  1. First, cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and remove the inside using a spoon.
  2. Add a little bit of oil onto the zucchinis and bake them at 200°C (400F) for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, let's prepare the stuffing. In a large skillet add oil and garlic. Cook until golden and add inside of zucchini that you've previously removed, shredded carrots, and bell pepper.
  4. Cook for 5 minutes, then add hydrated soy meat, seasonings and cook for 5 more minutes. Lastly, add vegan cheese and combine.
  5. When the zucchinis are done, remove them from the oven and fill them with a veggie mixture and sprinkle some extra vegan cheese on top.
  6. Bake at 200°C (400F) for about 20-25 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

* You can cook the soy meat for about 5 minutes to make it hydrated or you can simply soak it in the water for about 1 hour or until it's soft. I used granuled TVP (textured vegetable protein). You can find TVP in many shapes including chunks, noodles, or something similar to ground beef.
