ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH FETA AND ROASTED RED PEPPERS
Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Cut zucchini crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick sections, discarding ends, and with a melonballer scoop out center of each section, leaving 1/16-inch-thick shells and reserving centers for another use. In a steamer set over simmering water steam zucchini shells, covered, 4 minutes, or until barely tender but still bright green. Transfer shells to paper towels to drain upside down.
- In a small bowl stir together roasted peppers, feta, oregano, and black pepper and mound in each shell. Arrange shells in a lightly oiled shallow flameproof baking dish and broil about 4 inches from heat until bubbling and beginning to turn golden, about 4 minutes.
PEPPERS STUFFED WITH RICE, ZUCCHINI AND HERBS
I used a medium-grain rice that I buy at my local Iranian market for these peppers. The package says that the rice is great for stuffing vegetables because it doesn't swell too much, and it's right. It goes into the peppers uncooked and steams in the oven, inside the peppers (so it's important to cook them long enough and cover the baking dish). Make sure that you spoon the sauce left in the baking dish over the rice once the peppers are done. These are good hot or at room temperature. I like to use green peppers.

Steps:
- Prepare the peppers. With a sharp paring knife, cut away the tops, then reach in and pull out the membranes and seeds.
- Toss the shredded zucchini with salt and let drain in a colander for 20 minutes. Take up handfuls of zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the garlic, mint, parsley or dill, and rice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup of the olive oil and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough to accommodate all of the peppers. Fill the peppers about 3/4 of the way full with the stuffing, and replace the caps. Place in the oiled baking dish. Mix together the tomato paste and water with the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice. Season to taste. Add to the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil. Place in the oven and bake 45 minutes to an hour, until the peppers are soft. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature, or serve hot. Remove the tops of the peppers and spoon the sauce in the baking dish over the rice before serving.

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:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a shallow roasting pan with olive oil.
- Carefully halve each pepper lengthwise so that the stem remains intact on each half. Coat each half with oil and place in the pan.
- Reserve 6 basil leaves for garnish and finely chop the remaining leaves to make 3 to 4 tablespoons. In a large bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently but thoroughly. You can make this ahead and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
- Spoon the tomato mixture into the pepper halves and roast until the peppers have browned lightly and the tomato filling is juicy and bubbling, about 1 hour. Garnish each pepper with a whole basil leaf.
