"Who doesn't love stuffed zucchini? We bake these until the zucchini is cooked through. If you need the crumbs to brown a little more, fire up the broiler for a minute at the end." Emeril Lagasse

Steps:
- Pulse the diced bread in a food processor until you have an even mix of fine and coarse crumbs. Add 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, the parsley leaves, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper, and process until evenly mixed. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the breadcrumb mixture for the filling. Mix 1 1/2 tablespoons of the extra-virginolive oil into the remaining breadcrumbs, transfer the mixture to a small container, and set it aside. (Alternatively, you can use store-bought fine fresh crumbs: Combine 3/4 cup breadcrumbswith 1 tablespoon minced parsley, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Set aside 2 tablespoons, and mix 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil into the remainder.)
- Lay the zucchini on a flat work surface, and using a sharp knife, slice off the top quarter of each squash lengthwise. Next, slice a sliver off the bottom of each squash to help keep it stable. Using a small melon baller or spoon, remove the inner flesh from the zucchini to form a small boat shape, leaving a shell that is approximately 1/4 inch thick. Cut the zucchini pulp into 1/4-inchdice, and reserve it separately. Lightly salt the inside of the zucchini shells with the remaining1/4 teaspoon salt. Set them, hollow side down, on paper towels to drain while you prepare the filling.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet. Add the sausage and saute until it is golden, using a spoon to break it into small pieces, about 6 minutes. Add the onions and cook until they are soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chopped zucchini and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, and cook, stirring, until the moisture has evaporated and the filling comes together, 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir inthe reserved 2 tablespoons breadcrumb mixture, and season with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Rub the outside of the zucchini with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Turn the zucchini hollow side up, and lightly pat the insides with paper towels. Using a tablespoon or other small spoon, fill the zucchini with the warm filling. Top with the reserved breadcrumbs. Lay the zucchini in a baking dish, and bake for 30 minutes,or until golden brown and crispy on top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Use a melon baller to separate and remove seeds and pulp separately from the zucchini, carving out each half and leaving about a half-inch shell. Chop zucchini pulp into pieces about 1/4 inch in diameter. Discard seeds.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add ground lamb; continue to cook and stir until lamb is lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir chopped zucchini into the lamb mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer mixture until the zucchini is hot, about 3 minutes. Drain excess grease. Season lamb mixture with coarse salt and black pepper.
- Remove skillet from heat. Stir tomato sauce, tomatoes, feta cheese, pine nuts, and 1/4 cup mint leaves through the lamb mixture; spoon into the zucchini halves. Put stuffed zucchini halves into a large baking dish. Pour water into the baking dish.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Mix bread crumbs and mozzarella cheese in a bowl. Sprinkle 1/4 cup mint leaves over the zucchini and top with the bread crumb mixture. Continue baking until the top is crusty and browned, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:
- Cut off the top quarter of each onion, round zucchini, and tomato. Hollow out all the vegetables (except peppers and flowers) with the help of a spoon or small knife, leaving a thick wall. Save the tops and carved-out parts and chop.
- In a saucepan, immerse the hollowed-out halved eggplants in the 12 cups of salted water (unheated). Allow to soak while stuffing is prepared.
- In a skillet heat 1/3 cup olive oil on a low flame and saute the reserved chopped vegetables until just tender, stirring lightly and frequently. In a large bowl combine the fresh bread crumbs and milk, and allow to soak briefly. Then add the Sauteed vegetables, sausage meat, garlic, chopped parsley, basil, beaten eggs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Remove the eggplant from the water. Bring this water to a boil and briefly blanch the vegetables separately in this order: white onions, zucchinis, peppers, eggplant (not the tomatoes or stuffed zucchini blossoms). Drain them on a clean towel or paper towel.
- Spoon the sausage stuffing into each vegetable, then sprinkle with bread crumbs. Arrange in a baking dish that has been oiled on the bottom with olive oil. Bake uncovered in a preheated 400 degree F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. For each person, arrange 1 piece of each kind of vegetable on a plate.
- Optional: For a true Provencal touch (and if they are available) prepare Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms and add one to each plate.
- In a skillet with 2 tablespoons olive oil, saute the finely chopped zucchini 5 to 8 minutes on a low flame. Remove from the heat and add parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Let cool, then add breadcrumbs and the beaten egg. Mix well.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- With the fingers, partially open each blossom's petals and place a spoonful of stuffing inside. Carefully close the petals. Put the stuffed blossoms side by side in a shallow roasting pan. Dissolve the bouillon cube in the boiling water and add the remaining olive oil. Pour liquid over blossoms and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for approximately 20 minutes. Arrange on a dish. Can be eaten hot or cold.

- In a large bowl, combine the stuffing ingredients of rice, ground beef, shredded onion, fresh parsley, dill, diced tomatoes, water, olive oil, allspice, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Mix by hand to combine.
- Now, remove the top of 3 tomatoes and remove the core to hollow out the tomatoes making room for the stuffing. Do this using a corer like this one.
- With a knife, remove the very top of the zucchini, then cut each zucchini in half to make shorter zucchini for stuffing. Now you need to hollow out the zucchini to make room for the stuffing.
- Insert your corer about 3/4 of the way into the zucchini, making sure not to poke the bottoms. Twist the corer and pull out the zucchini cores or hearts. Do this a few times, and gently scrape the sides of the zucchini until you have hollowed each out making room for the stuffing. You'll want to leave about 1/4 inch rim of zucchini.
