Zucchini with Mushroom Duxelle – a French favourite from CFF UAE

Enjoy Chef Philippe Morbelli’s delectable recipe for Zucchini with Mushroom Duxelle, a classic French dish! Zucchini serves as the perfect vessel for stuffing, thanks to its thick flesh, while the mushrooms are transformed into a flavourful duxelle through the addition of butter and onions.

Zucchini Preparation:

1. Thoroughly wash the zucchini and portobello mushrooms.

2. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the seeds, creating space for the stuffing.

3. In a rectangular Pyrex dish, grate the lemon zest and garlic. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and honey.

4. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix the ingredients together.

5. Coat the zucchini with the sauce, ensuring they are well covered, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.


Mushroom Preparation:

1. Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.

2. Add a sprig of rosemary to infuse its flavour.

3. Add the diced portobello mushrooms to the pan.

4. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well to combine the flavours.

5. Remove the pan from the heat.

6. Grate Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the mushrooms and mix until well incorporated.

Finale:

1. Preheat the grill to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2. Stuff the marinated zucchini with the sautéed mushroom mixture.

3. Grill the stuffed zucchini for 5-7 minutes, or until they are cooked to your desired level of tenderness.

4. To check for doneness, gently poke the zucchini with a knife. If it is soft, it is ready to be served!
