Millet Stuffed Zucchini

Millet has a great thick consistency when cooked up (kind of like mashed potatoes) which makes everything work well for this. I am on a pretty strict diet since I have candida, so this recipe is perfect for early stage candida diet and provides doing something a little different with millet.

Step: 1

Bring 1 1/2 cups water and millet to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat, cover saucepan, and simmer until water is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Fluff millet with a fork.

Step: 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil; cook zucchini until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Drain water. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Spoon meat out of center, leaving a 1/8- to 1/4-inch border in zucchini. Reserve zucchini meat.

Step: 3

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step: 4

Heat ghee in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, red bell pepper, and garlic until slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Stir millet, zucchini meat, and salt into onion mixture.

Step: 5

Spoon millet mixture into hollowed zucchini and place in a baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until browned on top, 15 to 20 minutes.
