Zucchini Sundaes (Courgette Splits)

Total time: 45 minutes

     They started out resembling Banana Splits - thus the name. A sprinkling of tomatoes halves around them while they bake yields a flavorful sauce. 

 Ingredients:

• 1 small - medium zucchini (courgette)
• 3oz (90gr) ham
• 6 small mozzarella balls
• 1 cup (6oz, 180gr) cherry tomatoes
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbs fresh, snipped basil leaves
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 tbs olive oil

 

 Instructions:

• Cut the zucchini in half. 
• With a small spoon, hollow out each half.
• Cut the ham into thin strips and line the inside of each zucchini half with them. 
• Top the ham with mozzarella balls alternating with whole cherry tomatoes. 
• Place in a baking dish.
• Cut the remaining cherry tomatoes in half and arrange around zucchini. 
• Sprinkle with garlic, basil and paprika. 
• Drizzle olive oil over all. 
• Cover, bake at 400F (200C) for 40 minutes.
