Ingredients

4 zucchini (medium, peeled and chopped)
2 T cooking oil (olive oil)
2 onion (peeled, chopped)
1⁄4 c cranberries (dreied, chopped)
3 clv garlic (peeled, chopped)

1⁄4 c parsley (fresh parsley, chopped)
1 t salt

Instructions

Cut the ends off each zucchini. Then cut about 1/4 inch slice off the top and hollow out the zucchini, leaving a 1/2 inch thick shell. Chop the cut off pieces as well as the inside flesh.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and gently sauté the chopped zucchini pieces and onions for about 10 minutes or until golden. Then add the garlic and sauté for a further few minutes. Take off the heat and add all the remaining ingredients. Stir well and fill into the zucchini.

Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the zucchini onto the baking sheet, cover with foil and bake for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes remove the foil and bake for a further 10 minutes or until the top is nicely browned.
