Step 1
Heat the oven to 375 Fahrenheit and line a baking tray with foil.Step 2
Slice the top and bottom off the zucchini and then slice them both in half length wise. Carefully remove the center of the zucchini with a sharp knife, creating a gulley down the center. Be careful not to slice all the way through the zucchini.Step 3
Arrange them side by side on your foil lined tray and drizzle with a little olive oil. Wrap the foil up around the zucchini to create a parcel and bake for 15-18 minutes until just tender.Step 4
While the zucchini is cooking, add the lamb to a dry frying pan over a medium heat and brown all over.Step 5
Finely dice the shallot and mince the garlic and add to the pan with the lamb. Fry gently until the shallot and garlic begins to soften.Step 6
Add the cumin, oregano, cinnamon and coriander to the pan, stir well to combine.Step 7
Add the tomato puree and stock to the pan. Season generously and allow the liquid to come to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and stir well. Continue to simmer until there is next to no liquid left in the pan about 5- 10 minutes..Step 8
Remove the zucchini from the oven and divide the lamb mixture between the 4 halves equally.Step 9
Return to the oven for a further 10 minutes to bake.Step 10
After 10 minutes, remove from the oven and crumble a teaspoon of feta over each half, and scatter each with a teaspoon of pine nuts.Step 11

Lovely recipe! I'm confused by the serving size, is 1 serving a single zucchini half, or a single whole zucchini (2 pieces)?

There are 2 zucchini in the ingredients and it serves 2, so I assume it's 2 halves. A bit confusing, I agree!

Great flavors! I love the nut element- I had walnuts on hand and it was delish. I doubled the recipe 1# ground lamb and 1# fresh ground pork. It was super easy and pretty quick to make.
