Directions
  • First, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
  • Then wash the zucchini thoroughly and blanch in boiling water for 10 minutes. Then remove, put in a bowl of cold water and leave to cool.
    2 zucchini
  • Then cut in half lengthwise and carefully scrape out the flesh. The shell of the zucchini should still have a thickness of about half a centimeter, so that it does not become brittle.
  • Now cut the pulp obtained into small pieces. Peel and finely chop the onion.
    1 onion
  • Heat some olive oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and anchovies and sauté briefly.
    4 anchovy fillets in oil
  • Then add the flesh of the zucchini, season with salt and pepper and fry for about 5 minutes on medium heat. Then remove from heat and leave to cool briefly.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
  • Now put the drained tuna, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, pine nuts and the capers in the blender. Add the lukewarm flesh and puree finely.
    200 g tuna in olive oil, 50 g Breadcrumbs, 50 g parmesan cheese, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp pine nuts, 1 tbsp capers
  • Place the zucchini boats on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Now transfer the prepared filling evenly into the boats with a spoon. Then sprinkle the fillings with a little more breadcrumbs.
  • Finally, place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
