Ingredients for Stuffed Zucchini for Two:

2 medium zucchini
1/4 pound of lean hamburger
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup corn, defrosted if frozen
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and deveined, finely diced
1 15 oz. can of small diced tomatoes
olive oil, Kosher salt, Freshly ground pepper

Method:

1. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds. Season with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan.
2. Saute the hamburger in a non-stick skillet until no longer pink. If your hamburger is super lean, you might need a tiny bit of olive oil to get it started. Season with a little salt and pepper. Drain off any grease and set aside.
3. Add a teaspoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Cook the onion until limp. Add the garlic and jalapeño. Season with a little salt. Stir for a few minutes until blended. Return the hamburger to the pan.
4. Add the corn and tomatoes, with their liquid. Let simmer until mixture thicken a bit. Add the rice and heat through. Check for seasoning.
5. Divide the mixture among the four zucchini shells. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a 375 oven for 35-40 minutes. Uncover for the last five or ten minutes.
6. Each serving is two pieces of stuffed zucchini sprinkled with a little Parmesan cheese.
