  • Cut the pulp and bacon into small pieces
  • Pour the remaining olive oil into a skillet then sauté the pulp, onion, bacon, and garlic. Add some salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to cook while stirring for about 2 minutes or until it turns a golden brown then remove from heat.
  • Fill the empty shells of the zucchini with the cooked mixture. Top it up with some shreds of cheddar cheese and chopped spring onion.

Notes:

  • If you so choose, you can use ground beef in place of bacon. Ham will also make a good replacement for bacon.
