Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 large zucchini, trimmed and halved lengthwise
1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
1 ½ tablespoons dried parsley
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound imitation crabmeat
2 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground mustard
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is soft but not browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Scoop flesh from the zucchini halves using a spoon, leaving a 1/4-inch layer intact. Chop zucchini flesh and stir into the skillet. Cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in bread crumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low.
  • Flake crabmeat into the skillet, leaving some larger chunks. Add lemon juice and ground mustard. Cook until crabmeat is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Divide crabmeat mixture evenly among the zucchini halves. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until zucchini is soft, 20 to 30 minutes.

The zucchini boats were a bit too oily for my liking. I think I would have preferred them if they had been baked instead of fried.

These zucchini boats were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some more seasoning to the crabmeat stuffing.
