Prep Time30 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 medium-sized zucchinis
  • 500 g ground meat, beef or lamb
  • 1 medium-sized onion, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, grated
  • ½-1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried Thyme
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

  • Wash the zucchinis well and cut off ends. Cut lengthways in halves.
  • Spread a small amount of coconut oil on the outer side (skin) of the zucchini halves, put in a glass oven dish skin down, salt to taste and bake for 30 minutes at 150C.
  • After 30 minutes, remove from the oven and scoop out the flesh of the zucchini so that only the skin and about ½ cm of flesh remain.
  • Cut the scooped out zucchini flesh into small pieces.
  • In a separate pot, add 1 tablespoon coconut oil, chopped onions, grated carrots, scooped out zucchini, salt and spices, and stir-fry on medium for 10-15 minutes. Add ground meat and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until meat is done.
  • Scoop the meat stir-fry mixture into the zucchini boats and bake in the oven at 150C for another 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and serve with a salad and vegetable side like steamed broccoli or stir-fried turmeric & ginger cauliflower.
