Ask a question about this stepI'm glad you liked it. Thanks for keeping me posted on how it turned out.
This was really good! I didn't have white wine, so I skipped it. I also didn't want to turn my oven to 400 degrees (too hot here!), so I broiled the squash before stuffing it, then broiled it again after I filled them.
Island Creek Oysters is one of the largest purveyors of oysters and clams in the U.S.
It's that time of year when you have so many zucchinis you search endlessly for new recipes. This recipes was excellent. I didn't have any shallots so I used the local sweet onion and I added chopped bacon. Any type of ground sausage would add flavor and work as well!
