Zucchini stuffed with cheese Sierra de Albarracin (blue label, green label with Rosemary or wine cheese)

This recipe with cheese is a great choice for a second course. The type of zucchini used (round) is not very common, but you can also do this recipe with a current long zucchini, as long as you are careful, of course. ;)






This recipe is easy and quick, with not so many ingredients; you just have to make sure that the quality of these is good enough in order to improve the flavour of the dish.


Ingredients:

  • 4 round (when possible) zucchini
  • Sierra de Albarracin cheese (either blue label, green label or wine cheese)
  • 4 eggs
  • Ham, salami or something similar… to taste
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Olive oil


Instructions:

Wash the zucchini, cut the upper side and then with a spoon empty the zucchini. If it´s not rounded, cut the pieces not longer than 2.5 in. and leave as bottom around 0.2 or 0.3 in. of zucchini.
Pour some water with salt in a pot and then boil the zucchini, upper side included. Once it´s well cooked, strain and let cool down for a while. 


Time to fill the zucchini with little pieces of ham, salami, etc… and also Sierra de Albarracín cheese:

The type of cheese chosen for the recipe is up to you, but here are our suggestions:


To finish the filling, add a whole egg in each zucchini and season to taste.

Put all the zucchini pieces in a pre-heated oven 180ºC (360ºF) for about 30 minutes.



The last but best step is to enjoy what you´ve cooked ;)

We are sure you will love this recipe and will cook it occasionally. From our part we assure the cheese will add a special touch to the whole dish.

One more year we are happy for attending the III Aragon region cheese tasting-contest, prize included!




During the weekend of 15th – 16th June 2013, we had the great pleasure to participate in the III Aragon region cheese tasting-contest, which took place in Biescas, a lovely village in the northern region of Aragon.

We were once again awarded, but this time we had to toe the line and accept the second prize on the category of ewe cheese.  
This time the kind of our Sierra de Albarracín cheese was the black label (100% sheep raw milk, cured hard cheese)





We are proud of our hard work and we have lots of fun during the weekend, surrounded by colleagues from our region, with whome one always learns.




We promise to be there next year and work even harder to get the first prize.

Thank you everyone for trusting in us and you know that you can always find us in our web and also the online store.


ENJOY!
