Zucchini stuffed with raisins, red onion, and pine nuts

SERVES 4

Ingredients:

8 zucchini

1 tbsp olive oil

1 red onion, finely chopped

pinch of sea salt

pinch of hot red pepper flakes

handful of pine nuts, toasted

handful of golden raisins

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Method:

1 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). First, prepare the zucchini by cutting in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, and chop it coarsely. Set the chopped zucchini aside with the zucchini shells.

2 Heat the oil in a large frying pan over low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of sea salt. Cook for 5 minutes until soft, then stir in the chopped zucchini and pepper flakes, and cook for a couple minutes longer.

3 Stir in half of the pine nuts and the raisins, then remove from the heat. Spoon the mixture into the zucchini shells, and top with the feta. Place on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the filling is heated through.

4 Sprinkle the remaining pine nuts over the top, and serve hot.
