So join me and feel the joy, make some zucchini risotto boats too!
Ingredients:
8 zucchini
Half a cup of Arborio rice
5-7 chard leaves
150 grams of ricotta cheese
200 grams of pecorino / parmesan cheese
Half a squeezed lemon
10 cherry tomatoes
140 ml dry white wine
2 cloves garlic
30 grams of butter
3 tablespoons bread crumbs
Salt
black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons canola oil
Boiling water
Prep:
Cut the zucchini into two halves lengthwise.
Empty the content of the zucchini with a small spoon and create small boats.
Save half of it for the stuffing.
Arrange the boats on a pan and drizzle with a little olive oil, a little salt and a little pepper.
Place in a preheated oven at 180-190 degrees Celsius until the zucchini boats are lightly golden.
Rinse and dry the chard leaves and cut it into thin strips.
In a large saucepan, heat two tablespoons of canola oil with crushed garlic, a little salt and a little pepper.
Add half the amount of the inside of the zucchini that we kept and lightly fry.
Add the rice and mix.
After a minute add to the pot the boiling water and then the wine and mix.
Leave the pot open and when the alcohol evaporates add the squeezed lemon and butter.
Cook the rice for another 13-14 minutes. Stir frequently.
Add the chard, stir and turn off the heat.
Once the rice has cooled a bit, add the ricotta and grate the picorino. (Keep 2-3 tablespoons of the grated picorino cheese on the side.)
Mix the rice with the cheese and taste. If needed, add more salt.
Fill the zucchini boats with the risotto mixture and arrange in a lightly oiled pan.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange between the boats.
Sprinkle over the boats some bread crumbs and the grated cheese we kept aside.
Put in the oven for 20 minutes at 180-190 degrees.
Enjoy! :)
