Stuffed zucchini baked in the oven
Description
The recipe won't take much time. It's very simple and requires only 20 minutes of preparation. For this dish, I use only the youngest zucchinis, as they bake faster and become incredibly tender and soft. As a filling, I often use pork and beef mince, offal, various vegetables, and mushrooms. Today, I'd like to share with you my recipe for zucchinis stuffed with mushrooms. The dish turns out very tasty, with a rich mushroom flavor. Be sure to try making it and delight your family. Instead of button mushrooms, you can use any wild mushrooms. Serve hot.

Step 4
Chop the mushrooms as you prefer. I usually cut them into small cubes so the filling doesn't turn into mush. Sauté the onion, carrots, and mushrooms in vegetable oil until cooked through. Don't forget to add salt to taste.
